【参考答案及解析】
Statement (i) is true because certain factors are often out of the manager's control. The level of sales (or production) will be out of the manager's control and a flexed budget will account for this. Statement (ii) is true. The major purpose of a fixed budget is at the planning stage when it seeks to define the broad objectives of the organisation. Statement (iii) is true because forecast volumes are very unlikely to be equal to actual volumes and so the variances will contain large volume differences.
