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 61 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below:

Fixed Cost per Month Cost per Course Cost per
Student
Instructor wages $ 2,980
Classroom supplies $ 290
Utilities $ 1,240 $ 50
Campus rent $ 4,800
Insurance $ 2,000
Administrative expenses $ 3,600 $ 46 $ 7

For example, administrative expenses should be $3,600 per month plus $46 per course plus $7 per student. The company’s sales should average $890 per student.

The company planned to run four courses with a total of 61 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 57 students. The actual operating results for September appear below:

Actual
Revenue $ 51,390
Instructor wages $ 11,200
Classroom supplies $ 17,540
Utilities $ 1,850
Campus rent $ 4,800
Insurance $ 2,140
Administrative expenses $ 3,637

Required:

1. Prepare the company’s planning budget for September.

2. Prepare the company’s flexible budget for September.

3. Calculate the revenue and spending variances for September.

Case Studies: For each of the following scenarios, give a brief explanation of what you would suggest, and why.

You are working as a Nurse at a rural high school and have been asked to assess the body composition and overall health of the students. What specific body composition assessment technique would you use (consider price, ease of use, etc…)? Make sure you explain why you would choose this technique. (3 pts)

You have been asked to give a presentation to elementary school students at a local school. They are having a health fair and want you to speak about nutrition and health – with a specific emphasis on teaching healthy eating habits to help avoid childhood obesity. List 3 things you would say to the students. (I don’t want words repeated from the Powerpoint or book, I am looking for creative and well thought out pieces of advice! Also, remember that your answers should be appropriate and relatable to your audience. (3 pts)

You are opening up a restaurant here in Albany. You want to promote healthy eating, but also want to make a profit (so the food has to taste good and include things that will bring people in!). Give examples of foods you would put on the menu to try to achieve this, and list why you chose each food. Be specific in your menu items (portion size, all things included in each dish, etc…):

TipTop Flight School offers flying lessons at a small municipal airport. The school’s owner and manager has been attempting to evaluate performance and control costs using a variance report that compares the planning budget to actual results. A recent variance report appears below:

Lessons 155 150

Aircraft depreciation 4,960 4,800 160 U

Total expense 24,700 23,880 820 U
Net operating income $ 12,220 $ 12,120 $ 100 F

After several months of using such variance reports, the owner has become frustrated. For example, she is quite confident that instructor wages were very tightly controlled in July, but the report shows an unfavorable variance.

The planning budget was developed using the following formulas, where q is the number of lessons sold:

Cost Formulas
Revenue $240q
Instructor wages $65q
Aircraft depreciation $32q
Fuel $13q
Maintenance $510 + $11q
Ground facility expenses $1,250 + $3q
Administration $3,220 + $2q

5. Doogie lives for four periods. He has just completed the first period of his life (by getting his high school diploma). Doogie is trying to decide on his future career path. He’s very good at opening things up and fixing them, so he has narrowed his options to two possible paths. He will either become an auto mechanic or a brain surgeon. •If Doogie becomes an auto mechanic, he will earn $25,000 as an apprentice in period 2, $50,000 as a solo mechanic in period 3, and $75,000 as a master mechanic (with apprentice) in period 4. •If Doogie becomes a brain surgeon, he will pay $50,000 to attend college in period 2, another $75,000 to attend medical school in period 3, and will earn $300,000 in period 4. Doogie must make all tuition payments at the beginning of each period, he is paid at the end of every period, and he can borrow and lend at a rate of 8% per period.

a. What is the present discounted value (PDV) of Doogie’s possible career paths? If Doogie wants to maximize the PDV of his lifetime earnings, which career should he choose?

b. Would Doogie’s choice change if he was making his decision at birth? Would the PDV (present discounted value) of his earnings streams be different at birth? Would Doogie’s evaluation of this investment change if he started life with a trust fund of $1 million? Explain. (Assume that Doogie’s high school education in period 1 is necessary for both career paths and is costless.)

A sample of 449 government employees and some number of respondents from private corporations answered the question about their education in 2018. Compare their average highest year of school completed and answer the question: Did government employees on average have more education than private employees in the U.S. in 2018? Explain why you think so. [Do not run the test in SPSS. Use the SPSS output below.]

Question: An 18-year-old male high school student who had a 4-year history of diabetes mellitus was brought... An 18-year-old male high school student who had a 4-year history of diabetes mellitus was brought to the emergency department because of excessive drowsiness, vomiting, and diarrhea.

A recent Pew Center Research survey revealed that 68% of high school students have used tobacco related products. Suppose a statistician randomly selected 20 high school students. Use this information to answer questions 39-41.

  1. To find the probability that exactly 15 used tobacco products, would you use the Binomial, Geometric, or Poisson distribution to find the probability?
  2. Set up the problem to find P (X = 15) using the appropriate distribution. Do NOT solve.
  3. What is the expected number of high school students in the sample who have used tobacco products?

For a self check out at the local Walmart, the mean number of customers per 5 minute interval is 1.5 customers. Use this information to answer questions 42 and 43.

  1. To find the probability of 2 customers in the next 5 minutes, would you use the Binomial, Geometric, or Poisson distribution to find the probability?
  2. What is the variance (numeric value)?  

Assuming the grades on the first homework are nearly normal with N(90, 4.3), what proportion of grades fall between 85 and 90?
Assuming the grades on the final exam are nearly normal with N(90, 4.3), for a grade of 95 or more on the exam, find the z-score and explain what it means.
Assuming the grades on the final exam are nearly normal with N(90, 4.3), what is the minimum grade putting you in the top 15% of the class?
Assuming the grades on the final exam are nearly normal with N(82, 3.86), what proportion of grades fall between 85 and 90?
