Budgeted diving-hours (q) 240

Revenue ($440.00q)                                                            105,600.00

Expenses:

Wages and salaries ($11,800 + $128.00q)      42,520

Supplies ($3.00q)                                                   720

Insurance ($4,000)                                              4,000

Miscellaneous ($530 + $1.48q)                        885.20

Total expense                                                                         (55,505.20)

Net operating income                                                            50,094.80

Therefore, due a fall in the activity level to 240 diving hours, net operating income fell from the budgeted $52,950 to $50,094.80.
