What would the flexible budget amount be if the master budget revenue was 250000 and the actual results were 254800 and how do you get the answer?
With flexible budget, you check whether the actual activity
level is within the range of activity for flexible budget. If yes,
then you compare very easily. Just extrapolate your budget for the
actual activity level. Only Variable costs needs to be updated (as
Fixed costs remain same for a particular activity level). Finally
you have the actual results and budgeted results, both on the same
activity level. This provides you the ground for comparing the
both.
