A static budget is based on one specific level of production and a flexible budget can be prepared for any production level within a relevant range.<\/p>\n<p>A static budget is a financial plan that is prepared for a specific level of production or activity. It is based on the assumption that certain factors, such as sales volume, costs, and prices, will remain constant throughout the budget period. However, in reality, these factors often change, which can make a static budget inaccurate.<\/p>\n<p>A flexible budget is a financial plan that is prepared for a range of production or activity levels. It takes into account the fact that costs and revenues will vary depending on the level of production or activity. This makes a flexible budget more accurate than a static budget.<\/p>\n<p>Option B is incorrect because a static budget can be prepared for an entire production or for a single department.<\/p>\n<p>Option C is incorrect because a flexible budget does not allow management latitude in meeting goals. It is simply a more accurate way of planning for different levels of production or activity.<\/p>\n<p>Option D is incorrect because a flexible budget considers both variable and fixed costs. A static budget, on the other hand, only considers fixed costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;A static budget is based on one specific level of production and a flexible budget can be prepared for any production level within a relevant range&#8221; option2=&#8221;A static budget is for an entire production, but a flexible budget is applicable only to a single department&#8221; option3=&#8221;Flexible budget allow management latitude in meeting goals, where &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"What is the basic difference between a static budget and a flexible budget?\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/what-is-the-basic-difference-between-a-static-budget-and-a-flexible-budget\/#more-55933\">Detailed Solution<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">What is the basic difference between a static budget and a flexible budget?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[952],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-costing","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What is the basic difference between a static budget and a flexible budget?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/mcq\/what-is-the-basic-difference-between-a-static-budget-and-a-flexible-budget\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"What is the basic difference between a static budget and a flexible budget?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;A static budget is based on one specific level of production and a flexible budget can be prepared for any production level within a relevant range&#8221; option2=&#8221;A static budget is for an entire production, but a flexible budget is applicable only to a single department&#8221; option3=&#8221;Flexible budget allow management latitude in meeting goals, where ...
