I definitely recall that flexed budgets adjust for actual activity levels, which seems crucial for control. I think that's the answer!

I’m torn between fixed and flexed. I feel like fixed budgets are easier to manage, but I guess they might not be as useful for control?

I remember practicing a question about fixed vs. flexed budgets, and I think flexed budgets are better for control purposes.

I think the budget needs to be flexible to adapt to changes, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right term they use in this context.

A, because everything these days is computer-generated. It's the only way to make sure the numbers add up, even if they're completely made up.

D, definitely D. An 'ideal' budget is what we all strive for, even if it's as mythical as a unicorn.

I'm going with B. A budget should be set in stone, like a contract. No flexing allowed, that's cheating!
