I think options C and D both make sense. A flexible budget should be responsive to changes in both activity levels and costs.

I believe that a flexible budget is not set prior to the control period and can be adjusted based on changes in costs as well.

I agree with Candidate 1. By adjusting the budget according to activity levels, it allows for better financial planning.

I'm not sure, but I think it might also be important for a budget to be changed in response to changes in costs.

Haha, good point Ozell! A 'not subsequently changed' budget doesn't sound very flexible at all. I'm definitely going with C or D on this one.

Hold on, I'm a little confused. Isn't a flexible budget supposed to be, you know, flexible? Option A seems a bit rigid to me.

Personally, I'm leaning towards option B. Continuously updating the budget as accounting periods expire seems like a pretty flexible approach to me.

I see your point, Lavina. However, I think option D is the most practical. Changing the budget in response to changes in costs seems more realistic to me.

I disagree, I believe option C is the best choice. Changing the budget in response to changes in activity seems more adaptable.

I think option A makes more sense. Setting the budget before the control period and not changing it seems more stable.

I agree with Carissa. A flexible budget should be able to adapt to both changes in activity and changes in costs. I think option D is the best answer here.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. The way I see it, a flexible budget could also be changed in response to changes in costs, which would be option D. I'm going to have to think about this one a bit more.

I think this question is pretty straightforward. A flexible budget is one that is changed in response to changes in the level of activity, so I'm going to go with option C.
