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:

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:

Required:

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

Shaving Cream

You are working with the marketing team for a FMCG firm that produces shaving cream. The team believes that sales of some of the products are closely related to sales of other products. They want you to explore this in a little more depth for two products, SKU 123 and SKU 456. Unfortunately, all of the base sales data for these products has been destroyed. All that you have is the weekly summary data:

The marketing team believes the correlation of these items is 0.8.

Question 1 What would the covariance need to be for the marketing team to be correct?

Now the marketing team wants to understand the potential weekly sales for these two products. Let the sales price for the two SKUs be 12.50, 7.75, respectively.

Question 2 What is the expected weekly revenue?

Assume that marketing is correct and the correlation = 0.8.

Question 3 What is the standard deviation of the weekly revenue?

Question 4 Assuming the joint distribution is normal, and the marketing team’s correlation of 0.8 is correct. What is the probability that weekly sales will be between 10,000 and 20,000 dollars?

Question 5

Which of the following statements are true:

Choose the correct answer.

A: The population mean is always greater than the sample mean.

B: Everything else being equal, the Confidence Interval for a sample increases with the number of observations (n) in the sample.

C: The t-distribution is used for small sample sizes instead of the Normal.

D: Holding all else equal, reducing the probability of a Type I error actually increases the probability of a Type II error.
