Required: 1&2. Prepare flexible budgets for the company at sales volumes of 14,000 and 16,000 units and classify all items listed in the fixed budget as variable or fixed.

How much would operating income increase over the budgeted amount of $579,000 if this level is reached without increasing capacity?

4. An unfavorable change in business is remotely possible; in this case, production and sales volume for the year could fall to 12,000 units. How much income (or loss) from operations would occur if sales volume falls to this level
