    1, Exchange Corp. Is a company that acts as a facilitator in tax-favored real estate swaps. Such swaps, know as 1031 exchanges, permit participants to avoid some or all of the capital gains taxes that would otherwise be due. The bookkeeper for the company has been asked to prepare a report for the company to help its owner/manager analyze performance. The first such report appears below:

    Exchange Corp
    Analysis of Revenues and Costs
    For the Month Ended May 31
    Planning Budget
    Unit Revenues
    And Costs Actual
    Unit Revenues

    Net operating income $28 $44.11 $16.11 F



    Note that the revenues and costs in the above report are unit revenues and costs. For example, the average office expense is $140 per exchange completed on the planning budget; whereas, the average actual office expense is $105 per exchange completed.

    All of the company's revenues come from fees collected when an exchange is completed.
