Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of a flexible budget: A flexible budget adjusts for changes in activity levels and is used to establish standard overhead rates based on varying levels of production or activity.

Recognize why a flexible budget is appropriate: Unlike a static budget, which remains fixed regardless of activity levels, a flexible budget allows management to account for fluctuations in production and allocate overhead costs more accurately.

Compare the options provided: Cash budgets focus on cash inflows and outflows, static budgets remain unchanged regardless of activity levels, and capital budgets are used for long-term investments. None of these are suitable for establishing standard overhead rates.

Identify the correct choice: A flexible budget is specifically designed to adapt to changes in activity levels, making it the correct tool for establishing standard overhead rates.

Apply this understanding to similar scenarios: Whenever overhead rates need to be calculated based on varying production levels, a flexible budget should be used to ensure accurate cost allocation.
