The static budget only considers standard revenue (units sold and price) and costs (both variable and fixed). While a flexible budget will be calculated using standard costs but with actual units sold and produced. Both static and flexible budgets use the same fixed costs, only variable costs and revenues differ.

correct, but each time you dont pay the price of the penalty can increase.

b. there is a fixed quantity of resources and technology available.
