Problem 9-22 Critique a Report; Prepare a Performance Report [LO9-1, LO9-2, LO9-3, LO9-4, LO9-6]

TipTop Flight School offers flying lessons at a small municipal airport. The schools 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:

TipTop Flight School Variance Report For the Month Ended July 31
	Actual Results			Planning Budget			Variances
Lessons		165			160
Revenue	$	40,930		$	40,000		$	930	F
Expenses:
Instructor wages		11,330			11,200			130	U
Aircraft depreciation		5,610			5,440			170	U
Fuel		2,450			1,920			530	U
Maintenance		2,090			1,960			130	U
Ground facility expenses		1,915			1,940			25	F
Administration		3,635			3,720			85	F
Total expense		27,030			26,180			850	U
Net operating income	$	13,900		$	13,820		$	80	F

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	$250q
Instructor wages	$70q
Aircraft depreciation	$34q
Fuel	$12q
Maintenance	$520 + $9q
Ground facility expenses	$1,300 + $4q
Administration	$3,240 + $3q

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.)
