Explanation / Answer

1.) Flexible budget (can also be referred to as a variable budget) 2.) Cash collections in March = 48%(Total Sales in March) + 32%(Total Sales in February) Need more information for a numerical answer, basically need the sales total for February/March I can give you the general formula: (Total Sales in March * 80% credit)(60% collection in month of sale) = 48% * Total Sales in March Also, you will collect some from February's Sales so: (Total Sales in March * 80% credit)(40% collection in month after month of sale) = 32% * Total Sales in February Cash collections in March = 48%(Total Sales in March) + 32%(Total Sales in February) 4.) Desired number of units in ending inventory 5.) Direct materials, Direct Labor, SG&A Expenses 6.) True 7.) False (only such large variances are brought to a manager's attention under this approach, so it is the norm) 8.) Financial Analyst for the company 9.) $2,050 (This is a guesstimate based on possible standard cost of $10.25/yard) You need to include the standard cost per yard, not the actual cost per yard for the quantity variance. 10.) Estimated Activity Level is wrong
