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:

Fixed Cost per Month Cost per Course Cost per
Student
Instructor wages $ 2,930
Classroom supplies $ 290
Utilities $ 1,210 $ 85
Campus rent $ 4,900
Insurance $ 2,200
Administrative expenses $ 3,600 $ 40 $ 3

For example, administrative expenses should be $3,600 per month plus $40 per course plus $3 per student. The company’s sales should average $880 per student.

The company planned to run four courses with a total of 63 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 59 students. The actual operating results for September were as follows:

Actual
Revenue $ 52,540
Instructor wages $ 11,000
Classroom supplies $ 18,120
Utilities $ 1,960
Campus rent $ 4,900
Insurance $ 2,340
Administrative expenses $ 3,375

Required:

Prepare a flexible budget performance report that shows both revenue and spending variances and activity variances for September. (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.)

A 26-year-old woman in graduate school visits the family physician because for the past 3–4 months she has been experiencing gnawing pains in her upper-middle abdomen. When you ask her what seems to precipitate the pain, she is unable to say for sure. She says she feels the best in the early morning before eating. As the day progresses, she usually feels worse and takes Mylanta or Milk of Magnesia to relieve the pain. Sometimes, her pain is accompanied by severe diarrhea, and she has been tired, weak, and nauseous. In response to your question about stress, she tells you she is under extreme stress because she is preparing to defend her thesis for her Ph.D. She has been smoking more cigarettes than usual and drinking 6–8 cups of coffee each morning. In the evening, she often has a few glasses of wine to help her relax.

Critical thinking Questions

1. Based on this patient’s complaints, lifestyle, and use of OTC medications, what do you expect may be the cause of her initial complaint of upper-middle abdomen pain and her symptoms of fatigue, weakness, and nausea?

2. What diagnostic tests do you anticipate the physician ordering and for what possible diagnoses?

3. Instead of OTC antacids, what are the other choices for this patient to relieve her symptoms? Is there a class of medications you think might be the better choice for her? If so, what and why?

4. What type of teaching would you give the patient to better manage her problems?

Cal Bender and Becky Addison have known each other since high school. Two years ago they
entered the same university and today they are taking undergraduate courses in the business school. Both hope to
graduate with degrees in finance. In an attempt to make extra money and to use some of the knowledge gained from
their business courses, Cal and Becky have decided to look into the possibility of starting a small company that would
provide word processing services to students who needed term papers or other reports prepared in a professional
manner.
Using a system approach, Cal and Becky have identified three strategies. Strategy 1 is to invest in a fairly expensive
microcomputer system with a high-quality laser printer. In a favorable market, they should be able to obtain a net profit
of $10,000 over the next 2 years. If the market is unfavorable, they can lose $8,000. Strategy 2 is to purchase a less
expensive system. With a favorable market, they could get a return during the next 2 years of $8,000. With an
unfavorable market, they would incur a loss of $4,000. Their final strategy, strategy 3, is to do nothing. Cal is basically
a risk taker, whereas Becky tries to avoid risk.
1- What type of decision procedure should Cal use? What would Cal’s decision be?
2- What type of decision maker is Becky? What decision would Becky make?
3- If Cal and Becky were indifferent to risk, what type of decision approach should they use? What would you
recommend if this were the case?

Paulacarried the following "designer" labels: Kalvin Klein, Gloria Anderburg, Robby Brooks, and Guido. Hedda tried on one of each label and finally settled on Guido. Hedda gave Paula the exact measurements and Paula ordered the "designer" Guido.

Paula attempted to order the Guido and found out that the factory was on strike. Paula called Hedda and told her about the labor problem. Hedda responded "No problem - just make sure it is a "designer" label".

Paula called all manufacturers and finally located a designerwho would sew Hedda's dress. The designer's name was J. Mart. Paula ordered the dress, called Hedda, and told Hedda to pick up the dress on June 20th 1990.

Hedda Picked up the dress on June 20th and asked Paula if the dress was a "designer" label. Paula said "Sure!" Hedda loved the dress. Hedda's date Harold picked her up on June 23rd and they headed to the prom. After the band's first break, ten of Hedda's friends gathered for a sip of punch and a piece of garlic pizza. One of Hedda's friends named Boopie asked Hedda what kind of dress she was wearing. Hedda replied "I'm not sure look at the label" The label said it was from J-mart.

Boopie turned back the collar and exposed the J-mart label. Boopie yelled "This dress is from J. Mart - How awful!"

Hedda was very embarassedand she went to J-mart and found 20 dresses that were like hers.

Hedda is furious and wants to get back the $50.00 down and not have the pay the $25.00 per month for five months as her contract requires.
