Chapter 010, Flexible Budgets and Performance Analysis True / False Questions 1. The main difference between a flexible budget and a static budget is that a flexible budget does not contain fixed costs. True False

2. A problem with directly comparing a static planning budget to actual costs is that this comparison fails to distinguish between differences in costs that are due to changes in activity and differences that are due to how well costs were controlled. True False

3. A planning budget is prepared before the period begins and is valid for only the planned level of activity. True False

4. A flexible budget is an estimate of what revenues and costs should have been, given the level of activity that had been planned for the period. True False

5. An unfavorable activity variance for a cost indicates that spending was higher than it should have been for the actual level of activity for the period. True False

6. The activity variance for revenue is unfavorable if the actual revenue for the period is less than the revenue in the static planning budget. True False

10-10

Chapter 010, Flexible Budgets and Performance Analysis 7. The revenue and spending variances are the differences between the static planning budget and the flexible budget. True False

8. A revenue variance is unfavorable if the actual revenue is less than what the revenue should have been for the actual level of activity for the period. True False

9. When the activity measure is the number of units sold, the revenue variance is unfavorable if the average actual selling price is less than expected. True False

10. A favorable spending variance occurs when the actual cost is less than the amount of that cost in the flexible budget. True False

11. A flexible budget performance report should contain fixed as well as variable and mixed costs. True False

12. It may be easier to control fixed costs than variable costs. True False

13. A static planning budget is suitable for planning and for evaluating how well costs are controlled. True False

10-11

Chapter 010, Flexible Budgets and Performance Analysis 14. If the actual level of activity is 4% less than planned, then the costs in the static budget should be reduced by 4% before comparing them to actual costs. True False

15. If the actual level of activity is 4% more than planned, then the fixed costs in the static budget should be increased by 4% before comparing them to actual costs. True False

Multiple Choice Questions 16. A flexible budget: A. classifies budget requests by activity and estimates the benefits arising from each activity. B. presents a statement of expectations for a period of time but does not present a firm commitment. C. presents the plan for only one level of activity and does not adjust to changes in the level of activity. D. presents the plan for a range of activity so that the plan can be adjusted for changes in activity levels.

17. A flexible budget is a budget that: A. is updated with actual costs as they occur during the period. B. is updated to reflect the actual level of activity during the period. C. is prepared using a computer spreadsheet application. D. contains only variable production costs.

18. Which of the following comparisons best isolates the impact that changes in prices of inputs and outputs have on performance? A. static planning budget and flexible budget B. static planning budget and actual results C. flexible budget and actual results D. master budget and static planning budget
