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 reportsthe 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 61 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the companys cost formulas appear below:

	Fixed Cost per Month		Cost per Course		Cost per Student
Instructor wages			$	2,980
Classroom supplies					$	290
Utilities	$	1,240	$	50
Campus rent	$	4,800
Insurance	$	2,000
Administrative expenses	$	3,600	$	46	$	7

For example, administrative expenses should be $3,600 per month plus $46 per course plus $7 per student. The companys sales should average $890 per student.
