27 A static budget report

may be appropriate in evaluating a manager's effectiveness in controlling costs when the behavior of the costs in response to changes in activity is fixed.

is appropriate in evaluating a manager's effectiveness in controlling variable costs.

shows costs at only 2 or 3 different levels of activity.

should be used when the actual level of activity is materially different from the master budget activity level.

1. whether management anticipated the difference.  2. the materiality of the difference. 3. the personality of the top managers. 4. whether the difference is favorable or unfavorable.

 

29 What is the primary difference between a static budget and a flexible budget?

The static budget contains only fixed costs, while the flexible budget contains only variable costs.

The static budget is prepared only for units produced, while a flexible budget reflects the number of units sold.

The static budget is prepared for a single level of activity, while a flexible budget is adjusted for different activity levels.
