Planning and Coordinating

I attached the assignment also if you cant understand it here. 

The Rundle Management Association held its annual public relations luncheon in April Year 2. Based on the previous year’s results, the organization allocated $27,408 of its operating budget to cover the cost of the luncheon. To ensure that costs would be appropriately controlled, Molly Hubbard, the treasurer, prepared the following budget for the Year 2 luncheon.

The budget for the luncheon was based on the following expectations:

1. The meal cost per person was expected to be $13.00. The cost driver for meals was attendance, which was expected to be 1,520 individuals.
2. Postage was based on $0.68 per invitation and 3,600 invitations were expected to be mailed. The cost driver for postage was number of invitations mailed.
3. The facility charge is $2,200 for a room that will accommodate up to 1,700 people; the charge for one to hold more than 1,700 people is $2,700.
4. A fixed amount was designated for printing, decorations, the speaker’s gift, and publicity.

3. At the last minute, Ms. Hubbard decided to add a dessert to the menu, which increased the meal cost to $13.7 per person.
4. Printing, decorations, the speaker’s gift, and publicity costs were as budgeted.
