Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The operating budget includes a personnel budget, which takes into account productive and nonproductive paid work hours. Education hours are covered under nonproductive paid work hours in the operating budget.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Variance reflects the difference between what was projected and the actual performance in a budget. When the variance is negative or unfavorable, the amount spent is more than what was budgeted (expenses exceed revenue); this may be a result of higher acuity. To help managers interpret and use variance information better, some institutions use flexible budgets that automatically account for census variances.
