Answer 1

Answer:

D.$54,000

Explanation:

A flexible budget is a one which changes or adjusts with change in actual activity. The flexible amount is more reliable than the static amount. The static budget is one which is not adjusted with level of real activity. The machine hours are used as basis of adjustment for flexible budget. The amount of fixed overhead budgeted allocation cost is adjusted based on machine hours according to actual machine hours of 985 hours.
