33% of total sales (projected at $900,000). Actual insurance and taxes came to 4% for the year. This is mostly due to a local business tax increase.
Recommendations

Insurance and taxes expense should be calculated at 4% of total budgeted sales.

With a recommended sales budget of $900,000, this expense should be $32,000 ($900,000 X.04).

Rent

Analysis

Rent is established by corporate headquarters, and it is a fixed expense. An unexpected $10,000 increase in rent resulted in rent coming over budget by $10,000.

Rent was expected to amount to $50,000; however, actual costs amounted to $60,000, as directly imposed by corporate headquarters.

Recommendations

The budgeted amount for the next fiscal year's rent expense should be $60,000, which includes the current rent increase without any envisioning of another.

Scientific eport of Tufted Capuchin Monkeys in SanDiego Zoo
Behavioral Differences Between Male and Female Capuchin Monkeys in an Artificial Habitat

Studies have shown that the activity and energy of an animal can be determined through the collection of data and presentation as an activity budget (Altmann 1974, Tacha 1985). An activity budget collects specific behavior data over a predetermined time for an animal or population for analysis in the evaluation of a hypothesis. This study reports the differences in activity between males and females for a population of tufted capuchin primates living in an outdoor artificial habitat within a North American zoo. The hypothesis that there are differences in activity levels between male and females for this population is confirmed for the duration of observation in this study. More study would be required to determine the effects of weather, seasonal variation, and daytime verses nocturnal behavior.

Introduction
