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:

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 |
Required:
2. Complete the flexible budget performance report for the school for July. (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.)

Bloomington Publishers is considering publishing five different textbooks. The maximum number of copies of each textbook that can be sold, the variable cost of producing each textbook, the sales price of each textbook, and the fixed cost of a production run for each textbook are given in the file Prob3. For example, producing and selling 2000 copies of book 1 yields a revenue of $80(2000) = $160,000 but costs $80,000 + $44(2000) = $168,000. This company can produce at most 20,000 copies in total. Furthermore, it can publish no more than three different types of textbooks. Also, it knows that it cannot publish book 1 if it chooses to publish book 2. Finally, if this company publishes book 4 it must also publish book 5. Bloomington Publishers wants to find a production plan that maximizes total profit. Formulate and solve an integer programming model in Prob3 to help this publisher identify the best production plan.

Scenario 1: Hockeyzine Inc. (4.5 marks) Every August, Hockeyzine Inc. publishes a fantasy hockey league magazine which is sent to various magazine retailers in Canada for sale. The standard sales contract allows these retailers to return any unsold magazines at the end of November each year. At the end of November, the retailers are responsible for submitting a report indicating how many magazines were sold. At this time, they will return the unsold goods and remit a cheque for payment to Hockeyzine for $3.50 per magazine sold. Hockeyzine records revenue on the magazines when they are shipped to the retailers in August at which point the magazines are removed from Hockeyzine’s inventory records. The company applies ASPE. Scenario 2: Cozy Cabin Co. (6.0 marks) Cozy Cabin Co. (“Cozy”) manufactures and sells prefabricated ski chalets to ski resorts across Canada. Slippery Slopes (“Slopes”) placed an order for 50 ski chalets to take advantage of a volume discount. Slopes is currently in the process of preparing one of their mountains to allow for construction of the ski chalets. They do not have storage space on site to store the chalets while they prepare the mountain; therefore, they requested that Cozy store the chalets and provide them a delivery schedule. Slopes provided Cozy with insurance coverage for the chalets and acknowledged that they were taking legal title of the chalets immediately. Cozy stores the chalets in a separate part of the warehouse and specifically identifies them as belonging to Slopes. The chalets are customized and cannot be sold to other customers. Cozy invoiced Slopes once the chalets were complete and ready for shipment and required payment within the customary 30-day term. Cozy recognized revenue on this transaction once the invoicing process was complete. The company reports under IFRS. Required: Start this question on a new page. Show all analysis to get full marks. a) Clearly state if you think the company’s current revenue recognition policy is appropriate or not appropriate. Support your answer by referencing to relevant handbook principles and applying case facts. b) If you believe the company’s current policy is not appropriate, state what changes the company should make to their policy.
