Beatrice Math offers two tutoring models: individual and group. The individual model provides one-on-one tutoring while the group model consists of groups of no more than four students. The individual model has a budgeted average price of $275. The group model has a budgeted. average price of $75. The manager of the tutoring center believes that 65 percent of the customers will choose the group model. The individual model averages $185 and the group model averages $45 in budgeted variable cost. The manager estimates that about 160 people will purchase tutoring services in any month. For October, the tutoring center served a total of 170 customers, including 110 that chose the group option. Required: a. Compute the sales activity variance for the tutoring center for October. b. Compute the mix and quantity variances for October.

Friendly Bank is attempting to determine the cost behavior of its small business lending operations. One of the major activities is the application activity. Two possible activity drivers have been mentioned: application hours (number of hours to complete the application) and number of applications. The bank controller has accumulated the following data for the setup activity: Required: 1. Estimate a regression equation with application hours as the activity driver and the only independent variable. If the bank forecasts 2,600 application hours for the next month, what will be the budgeted application cost? 2. Estimate a regression equation with number of applications as the activity driver and the only independent variable. If the bank forecasts 80 applications for the next month, what will be the budgeted application cost? 3. Which of the two regression equations do you think does a better job of predicting application costs? Explain. 4. Run a multiple regression to determine the cost equation using both activity drivers. What are the budgeted application costs for 2,600 application hours and 80 applications?
Imagine you are taking 3 classes (Economics, English and Wellness) this semester and want to calculate your total cost per course. Assume only two costs: Tuition and Internet. Tuition, a direct cost, is $1,000 per course. Internet is a shared (overhead) cost and is $450 per semester. Assume you spend 60% of your time online for Economics, 30% for English and 10% for Wellness. Provide the following information: 1. Cost for Economics when overhead is allocated by the number of courses you are taking 2. Cost for Economics when overhead is allocated by time spent online 3. Cost for Wellness when overhead is allocated by the number of courses you are taking 4. Cost for Wellness when overhead is allocated by time spent online

Session willingness to Pay 1st $77 2nd $66 3rd $55 4th $44 5th $33 6th $22 Suppose this consumer would not demand any more sesslons, even for free. Also assume that the marginal cost to the studlo, per sesslon, is constant at $11. At this price and quantity, consumer surplus At a price of $71.50 per sesslon, the number of sesslons demanded by this consumer would be Is and producer surplus is Suppose the studio has devised a new pricing scheme for consumers who demand more than 1 sesslon. This pricing scheme is a subscription service, whereby consumers can pay a flat fee of $237.60 and can have up to 6 sesslons total. Using this Eubscription pricing model, this consumer would demand sessions. Under this scenarlo, consumer surplus Is and producer surplus is (Hint: For consumer surplus,…
