Explanation:

A flexible budget is a budget that adjusts to changes in volume or activity. The flexible budget is more sophisticated and useful than a static budget. The budget will include a variable rate per unit of activity instead of one fixed total amount.

A flexible  budget has the following advantages:

- Usage in variable cost environment. The flexible budget is especially useful in businesses where costs are closely aligned with the level of business activity.

- Performance measurement. Since the flexible budget restructures itself based on activity levels, it is a good tool for evaluating the performance of managers.

- Budgeting efficiency. Flexible budgeting can be used to more easily update a budget for which revenue or other activity figures have not yet been finalized.
