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 62 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		$ 2,910
Classroom supplies			$ 270
Utilities	$ 1,230	$ 90
Campus rent	$ 4,700
Insurance	$ 2,100
Administrative expenses	$ 3,800	$ 44	$ 5

The company planned to run four courses with a total of 62 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 60 students. The actual operating results for September appear below:
