    Flexible and flexed budget are two different things? Or they both have same meanings

    A flexed budget is when we rewrite the original budget for the actual level of activity.

    A flexible budget is a budget prepared in a way that can be easily flexed (i.e. the variable costs are separated out from the fixed costs).

    No – of course not.

    You can be asked to prepare a flexed budget, certainly. But you are also expected to be able to calculate specific variances directly without messing around with a flexed budget first.

    You need to watch my free lectures on variances where I explain this.
