Answer 1

Answer:

A. D) $189,583

B. B. $49,500

Explanation:

A. The computation of the flexible budget will report for the variable cost is shown below:-

= Static Variable cost ÷ Static sales volume × Actual sales volume

= $175,000 ÷ 12,000 × 13,000

= $189,583.33

B. The number of fixed costs in both flexible budget and static budget would be the same

=  $49,500

So, flexible budget will report $49,500 for the fixed costs
