2. Management should be concerned that the level of activity fell below what had been planned for the month. This led to
an expected decline in profits of $330. However, the individual items on the report should not receive much management
attention. The unfavorable variance for revenue and the favorable variances for expenses are entirely caused by the drop
in activity.

2. The overall $336 unfavorable activity variance is due to activity falling below what had been planned for the month. The
$1,710 unfavorable revenue variance is very large relative to the companys net operating income and should be
investigated. Was this due to discounts given or perhaps a lower average number of passengers per flight than usual?
The $494 unfavorable spending variance for wages and salaries is also large and should be investigated. The other
spending variances are relatively small, but are worth some management attentionparticularly if they recur next
month.
