Answer:

$12.5 per gram

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the cost which is:

  • Future related cost
  • Cash flow in nature
  • Incremental Cost or Differential

To reduce the pollution level from 354 to 250 gram, the price of new vehicle will increase by $1300.

A flexible budget adjusts actual results and helps management control how efficient the company was in following their budget. That is why a flexible budget is done after the budgeted period is over.

Fixed costs should not change (that is why they are fixed), but variable costs should change if the actual output was different than the budgeted output.
