BUDGETING
5y ago#1The fixed budget is the original budget and is used for planning.
The flexed budget is the budget rewritten for the actual level of activity and is used for comparison with the actual results in order to control costs.
This is all explained in my free lectures on budgeting and on variance analysis. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well :-)
How will the fixed budget aid is in planning sir
Can you please give an example please
5y ago#3Budgets are plans, and I give examples in my free lectures on budgeting. For example, the raw materials budget is a plan for how much material they will need to purchase.
