One vehicle used in one tour on one day counts as a jeep. Each jeep has one tour guide. The company uses the following data in its budgeting:

                            Fixed elem per   variable element     Var Elem

                                     month         per guest             per jeep
Revenue                            0             $91                          0

Vehicle expenses              4500           9                             43

Admin expenses                1300           2                               0


In October, the company budgeted for 456 guests and 115 jeeps. The actual activity for the month was 446 guests and 111 jeeps.

Required:

Prepare the company's flexible budget for the actual level of activity in October.
