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.

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 Instructor wages Aircraft depreciation Fuel Maintenance Administration $210q $50q $369 $119 $530+ $8q Ground facility expenses $1,350 + $29 $3,260 + $1q Required: 2.
