Transcribed Image Text:The Little Theatre is a nonprofit organization devoted to staging plays for children. The theater has a very small full-time professional
administrative staff. Through a special arrangement with the actors' union, actors and directors rehearse without pay and are paid only
for actual performances.
The Little Theatre had tentatively planned to put on six different productions with a total of 108 performances. For example, one of the
productions was Peter Rabbit, which had a six-week run with three performances on each weekend. The costs from the current year's
planning budget appear below.

Administrative expenses
Total
Some of the costs vary with the number of productions, some with the number of performances, and some are fixed and depend on
neither the number of productions nor the number of performances. The costs of scenery, costumes, props, and publicity vary with the
number of productions. It doesn't make any difference how many times Peter Rabbit is performed, the cost of the scenery is the same.
Likewise, the cost of publicizing a play with posters and radio commercials is the same whether there are 10, 20, or 30 performances
of the play. On the other hand, the wages of the actors, directors, stagehands, ticket booth personnel, and ushers vary with the
number of performances. The greater the number of performances, the higher the wage costs will be. Similarly, the costs of renting the
hall and printing the programs will vary with the number of performances. Administrative expenses are more difficult to analyze, but
the best estimate is that approximately 75% of the budgeted costs are fixed, 15% depend on the number of productions staged, and
the remaining 10% depend on the number of performances.

Actual Costs
Total
After the beginning of the year, the board of directors of the theater authorized expanding the theater's program to seven productions
and a total of 168 performances. Not surprisingly, actual costs were considerably higher than the costs from the planning budget.
(Grants from donors and ticket sales were also correspondingly higher, but are not shown here.) Data concerning the actual costs were
