Advertising =  4% of $330,000 = $13,200

Traveling = 7% of $330,000 = $23,100

Delivery = 1% of $330,000 = $3,300

c) Cadiz Co.'s flexible budget changes with respect to the volume of sales.  Since some percentages of the sales are given for Sales commission, advertising, traveling, and delivery, these change as the volume of sales changes.  This flexible budget forms the basis for the management of Cadiz Co. to judge the actual performance with the budget, which enables control to be instituted.
