Explanation:

To compute the catering supplies amount, the following items need to be considered. along with this, the computation is also shown:

= Catering supplies + Job cost + meal cost

where,

Catering supplies are $530 per month

Job cost = Per job cost × expected number of jobs

              = $114 × 25 jobs

               = $2,850

Meal cost =  Per meal cost × expected number of meals

                 = $16 × 234 meals

                 = $3,744

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the answer would be equal to

= $530 + $2,850 + $3,744

= $7,124

The actual activity is not consider. Thus, it is ignored.

Hence, The catering supplies in the flexible budget for October would be closest to $7,124
