You're supposed to use the data for budget and actual as given in Exhibit 8-12, as the basis to prepare a flexible budget for the company at forecasted revenue levels of $12.6 million, $13 million, and $13.4 Million. What you have in exhibit 8-12 (left column) is a static budget at $13 million (compared to actual revenue level of $12.7 Million in the middle column), which (the left column, I mean) you can use to get the total fixed costs and unit-variable cost relationships to adapt to the 2 other flexible budget levels required (12.6 and 13.4M). You are to use the format of Exhibit 8.3 in designing and preparing the flexible budget. Then in part 3 they want you to use the format on Exhibit 8-6, to take your original static budget, Exhibit 8-12 and break out that static budget information into flexible budget variances and sales activity variances. So you're using all 3; exhibit 8-12 is needed to get the actual cost relationships to apply to the 2 other levels of budgeted number, exhibit 8.3 is needed to see how to set up the flexible budget, and Exhibit 8.6 to do the static budget and activity variances.
