Answer 1

Flexible budget cost variance= $6,400 unfavorable

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the flexible budget cost variance, we need to use the following formula:

Flexible budget cost variance= (standard costs*actual quantity) - actual costs

Flexible budget cost variance= (6*27,500) - 171,400

Flexible budget cost variance= 165,000 - 171,400

Flexible budget cost variance= $6,400 unfavorable
