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:

Variances
Lessons 165 160
Revenue $ 36,990 $ 36,000 $ 990 F






Expenses:
Instructor wages 10,440 10,240 200 U
Aircraft depreciation 5,940 5,760 180 U
Fuel 3,540 3,040 500 U
Maintenance 2,820 2,710 110 U
Ground facility expenses 2,010 2,090 80 F
Administration 4,275 4,340 65 F






Total expense 29,025 28,180 845 U






Net operating income $ 7,965 $ 7,820 $ 145 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 $225q
Instructor wages $64q
Aircraft depreciation $36q
Fuel $19q
Maintenance $ 630 + $13q
Ground facility expenses $1,610 + $3q
Administration $4,180 + $1q

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).)
