    Why on earth are you attempting questions for which you do not have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers – it has answers and explanations.

    Given the wording of the question, the flexed budget must have been for a total of $65,000.

    Given that the flexed budget was for 5,000 units, the must have been budgeting on 65,000/5,000 = $13 per units.

    So the fixed budget must have been for 5,000 x $13 = $65,000.
