20 in revenue per passenger mile. Variable expenses were 195,000 / 1,500, 000 = $0.13 per passenger mile in the flex budget. Fixed costs were $80,000 and that should not change.
The results Flex for Actual Level shows that the actual performance was lower than what would have been expected given the actual sales levels recorded and the figures listed in the static budget. This is to be expected, because the actual revenue per passenger mile was decreased in order to achieve those higher passenger mile figures. The actual level would have anticipated variable costs of $214,500 but the actual variable costs were $200,000, meaning that for the amount of passenger miles flown, the variable cost was actually lower than expected. Normally, the jet fuel cost increase would have increased the variable expenses, not decreased them. However, the key is that the variable cost figures here are calculated per passenger mile flown and the number of such miles increases even though the number of flights remained the same, because of the decrease in ticket prices. Thus, even though the fuel costs increased, the total fuel cost was spread out over many more passengers, meaning that on a per passenger mile basis, the fuel cost actually decreased. Essentially, the expectation was that the variable expenses (of which fuel is one component) should have increased by $19,500, but they only increased by $5,000. The fuel cost itself therefore has $19,500 attributable to it, but…
The columns 2 and 4 can now be filled in, according to the formulas presented on page 310. Column 2 = Column 1 -- Column 3; and Column 4 = Column 3 -- Column 5.

52). The researcher handles or controls the items differently. It is a form of Pareto analysis where items such as customers, documents, activities, inventory items, sales territories grouped into three categories namely a, B, and C. In order of their estimated importance. Consequently, 'A' items are very important, 'B' items are important, and 'C' items are marginally important. The organization gives 'A' rating to their best customers since they
Spotlighting Samplings 4 Qualitative Research Research Choices 6 the Phenomenology Method The Ethnography Method DEPTH Four Qualitative Approach Comparison Strengths and Critiques of Case Studies "A research design indicates the full research process from conceptualization of the research problem, generation of data, analysis and interpretation of findings, and dissemination of results" (Magilvy & Thomas, 2009, What and Why… Section, ¶ 4).

" Human development- behavioral shifts in human being that tae place during the course of an entire lifespan ("Human Behavior"). Risk Analysis- the activity of determining and analyzing the dangerous natural and human caused negative events. This analysis takes into consideration the risks these event pose to businesses individuals and governments. Within the domain of information technology risk analysis reports are utilized to tailor technology-related objectives with a an organization's business objectives.
These are questions dealing with attitude and are the most important questions when doing qualitative social science research to gauge relationships among events. In addition to construction questions about attitudes, it is important to have the questions drafted in the correct format (Nachmias, 2008). The Quantitative methodologies will be the statistical tests designed for the overall model to incorporate the information provided through one, two or all of the Qualitative
Rainfall Simulation Studies to Estimate Soil Erosion as Influenced by Rainfall Intensity and Slope in Four Distinct Soils (1) To investigate the effect of slope angle and rainfall intensities on soil erosion under controlled conditions using four (4) distinct soil types; (2) To compare this data with that for a cropped plot; and (3) To highlight an approach at estimating erosion risk and nutrient loss. Soil erosion or the wearing away of
Nursing Terminology System Comparison In the world of nursing, there are different terminologies and systems that are used to communicate information. This helps providers to have clearly defined standards which enhances coordination and communication. However, there are contrasting systems that emphasize different areas. Two of the most notable include: Omaha and CCC approaches. To fully understand their effects requires comparing the two and discussing why there is a need of codification
