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 64 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 $ 2,900
Classroom supplies $ 260
Utilities $ 1,250 $ 55
Campus rent $ 5,200
Insurance $ 2,300
Administrative expenses $ 3,600 $ 43 $ 4

For example, administrative expenses should be $3,600 per month plus $43 per course plus $4 per student. The company’s sales should average $870 per student.

The company planned to run four courses with a total of 64 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 56 students. The actual operating results for September appear below:

Actual
Revenue $ 52,780
Instructor wages $ 10,880
Classroom supplies $ 16,490
Utilities $ 1,880
Campus rent $ 5,200
Insurance $ 2,440
Administrative expenses $ 3,454

Required:

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

Prepare the company’s planning budget for September.


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

Jacob is a CRNA working in the labor and delivery department of a private for-profit hospital. He has been employed there full-time for 10 years. He currently is the lead CRNA for 5 other CRNAs that work on the unit. He has been researching DNP programs and has decided to complete an application with an online DNP program. He has an upcoming meeting with his director in a couple of weeks for which he wants to discuss he return to school and also discuss changes in nursing anesthesia practice that may impact current hospital policies and procedures ethically and legally. During his monthly meeting with the director of the unit, he decides to share his desire to pursue another degree to expand his knowledge base, make him a better leader, and help promote better health care delivery and care outcomes. He discusses reducing his hours in order to allow him time to pursue his degree. The director tells Jacob that at this time reducing his hours to accommodate his desire to return to school would not be an option. The director also tells Jacob that the changes in nursing anesthesia practice that may affect their internal policies will need to be addressed at a later meeting. After the meeting, Jacob is discouraged, feels a lack of administrative support, and now is uncomfortable in his leadership role.

What ethical perspectives influenced your pursuit of a DNP degree? please provide reference

A common practice for government entities, particularly schools, is to issue short-term (promissory) notes to cover daily expenditures until revenues are received from tax collection, lottery funds, and other sources. School boards approve the note issuances, with repayments of principal and interest typically met within a few months. The goal is to fully cover all expenses until revenues are distributed from the state. However, revenues distributed fluctuate due to changes in collection expectations, and schools may not be able to cover their expenditures in the current period. This leads to a dilemma—whether or not to issue more short-term notes to cover the deficit. Short-term debt may be preferred over long-term debt when the entity does not want to devote resources to pay interest over an extended period of time. In many cases, the interest rate is lower than long-term debt, because the loan is considered less risky with the shorter payback period. This shorter payback period is also beneficial with amortization expenses; short-term debt typically does not amortize, unlike long-term debt. Based on this information, compose a paper that addresses the following:

  • What would you do if you found your school in this situation?
  • Would you issue more debt? Explain.
  • Are there alternatives? Explain.
  • What are some positives and negatives to the promissory note practice?
    • Please explain at least two positives and at least two negatives.
