This variance is unfavorablebecause the actual cost

The Flexible Budget

Improve performance evaluation.

Show revenues and expensesthat should have occurred at theactual activity.

Reveal variances due to effective cost control or lack of cost control.

L O 3

To a budget for different activity levels, we must know how costs behave with changes in activity levels.

• Total variable costs changein direct proportion to changes in activity.

• Total fixed costsremain unchangedwithin the relevantrange.

First, let’s compareactual results withthe original budget.

a flexed budgetprepared at the
