I feel like overestimating profit is definitely a way to create slack, but I need to double-check my notes on the others.

This is a good question to test our understanding of budgetary slack. The key is identifying the actions that would intentionally inflate the budget beyond what's needed. I'm pretty sure overestimating costs and underestimating revenues are the right answers here.

I remember discussing budgetary slack in class, but I'm drawing a blank on the details right now. I'll have to carefully read through the answer choices and try to reason it out.

Okay, let me think this through. Overestimating costs and underestimating revenues would both lead to a larger budget than necessary, creating slack. I'll make sure to select those two options.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know budgetary slack has to do with intentionally inflating costs or deflating revenues, but I'm not confident which specific actions would cause that.
