The Toque Cooking Academy

The Toque Cooking Academy runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers that it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run four courses in a month and have a total of 60 students enrolled in those four courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below:
