1 1. Budgetary control involves all but one of the following: A. modifying future plans. B. analyzing differences. C. using static budgets. D. determining differences between actual and planned results. 2. A static budget is useful in controlling costs when cost behavior is: A. mixed. B. fixed. C. variable. D. linear. 3. At zero direct labor hours in a flexible budget graph, the total budgeted cost line intersects the vertical axis at $30,000. At 10,000 direct labor hours, a horizontal line drawn from the total budgeted cost line intersects the vertical axis at $90,000. Fixed and variable costs may be expressed as: A. $30,000 fixed plus $6 per direct labor hour variable. B. $30,000 fixed plus $9 per direct labor hour variable. C. $60,000 fixed plus $3 per direct labor hour variable. D. $60,000 fixed plus $6 per direct labor hour variable. 4. At 9,000 direct labor hours, the flexible budget for indirect materials is $27,000. If $28,000 of indirect materials costs are incurred at 9,200 direct labor hours, the flexible budget report should show the following difference for indirect materials: A. $1,000 unfavorable. B. $1,000 favorable. C. $400 favorable. D. $400 unfavorable.

Responsibility reports for cost centers: A. distinguish between fixed and variable costs. B. use static budget data. C. include both controllable and noncontrollable costs. D. include only controllable costs. 8. In a responsibility report for a profit center, controllable fixed costs are deducted from contribution margin to show: A. profit center margin. B. controllable margin. C. net income. D. income from operations.
