The costs from the current yearâsplanning budget appear below. The Little Theatre had tentativelyplanned to put on six different productions with a total of 50performances. For example, one of the productions was PeterRabbit, which had a six-week run with three performances oneach weekend.

The Little Theatre Costs from the Planning Budget For the Year Ended December 31
Budgeted number ofproductions		6
Budgeted number ofperformances		50
Actorsâ anddirectorsâ wages	$	105,000
Stagehandsâwages		20,500
Ticket boothpersonnel and ushersâ wages		11,500

Theatre hallrent		35,500
Printedprograms		11,250
Publicity		12,600
Administrativeexpenses		46,000

Total	$	290,950

Some of the costs vary with the numberof productions, some with the number of performances, and some arefixed and depend on neither the number of productions nor thenumber of performances. The costs of scenery, costumes, props, andpublicity vary with the number of productions. It doesnât make anydifference how many times Peter Rabbit is performed, thecost of the scenery is the same. Likewise, the cost of publicizinga play with posters and radio commercials is the same whether thereare 10, 20, or 30 performances of the play. On the other hand, thewages of the actors, directors, stagehands, ticket booth personnel,and ushers vary with the number of performances. The greater thenumber of performances, the higher the wage costs will be.Similarly, the costs of renting the hall and printing the programswill vary with the number of performances. Administrative expensesare more difficult to pin down, but the best estimate is thatapproximately 70% of the budgeted costs are fixed, 15% depend onthe number of productions staged, and the remaining 15% depend onthe number of performances.

After the beginning of the year, theboard of directors of the Theatre authorized expanding theTheatreâs program to five productions and a total of 54performances. Not surprisingly, actual costs were considerablyhigher than the costs from the planning budget. (Grants from donorsand ticket sales were also correspondingly higher, but are notshown here.)

It doesn't make any differences how many times The Lion King isperformed, the cost of the
scenery is the same. Likewise, the cost of publicizing a playwith posters and radio commericals is the
same whether there are 10,20 or 30 performances of the play. Onthe other hand, the wages of
the actors, directors, stagehands, ticket booth personnel, andushers vary with the number of

75% of the budgeted costs are fixed, 15% depend on the number ofproductions staged, and the
remaining 10% depend on the number of performances.

After the beginning of the year, the board of directors of thetheater authorized expanding the
theater's program to seven productions and a total of 168performances. Not surprisingly, actual
