Via Gelato is a popular neighborhood gelato shop. The company has provided the following cost formulas and actual results for the month of June:
| Fixed Element per Month |
Variable Element per Liter |
Actual Total for June |
|||||||
| Revenue | $ | 27.00 | $ | 160,540 | |||||
| Raw materials | $ | 6.15 | $ | 38,430 | |||||
| Wages | $ | 7,100 | $ | 2.90 | $ | 24,900 | |||
| Utilities | $ | 3,130 | $ | 1.70 | $ | 14,200 | |||
| Rent | $ | 4,100 | $ | 4,100 | |||||
| Insurance | $ | 2,850 | $ | 2,850 | |||||
| Miscellaneous | $ | 800 | $ | 1.85 | $ | 11,790 | |||
While gelato is sold by the cone or cup, the shop measures its activity in terms of the total number of liters of gelato sold. For example, wages should be $7,100 plus $2.90 per liter of gelato sold and the actual wages for June were $24,900. Via Gelato expected to sell 6,000 liters in June, but actually sold 6,200 liters.
Required:
Calculate Via Gelato revenue and spending variances for June. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 63 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below:
