Summary
Flexible budgets are a topic in accounting. Students learn what flexible budgets are, and how they differ from static budgets. They also learn about the relationship between fixed and variable costs in flexible budgets.
Flexible budgets explained
Flexible budgets are plans that businesses use to ensure they have enough money for current and future projects. They help to coordinate and implement plans. They are also a way to discipline management planning.
Fixed and variable costs
Fixed costs are costs that do not change with the level of production. Variable costs change with the level of production. Businesses can control variable costs. This allows them to trend effectively and anticipate their future needs.
Static and flexible budgets
Static budgets show results for only one level of activity. Flexible budgets can help a company look at multiple activity levels. Flexible budgets are more effective for cost control.
Cost-volume-profit analysis
Flexible budgets show sales, fixed costs, and variable costs for different levels of production. Fixed costs per unit change with the level of production. Variable costs change in total, but not per unit.
