Flexible Budget for Third Quarter:

                                Actual Results      Flexible Budget      Static Budget

Sales volume​ (in units) ​10,000 ​                  10,000                      ​8,000

Sales revenues ​      $239,000 ​               $293,750                  ​$235,000

Variable costs            ​167,000 ​               $ 230,000                  $184,000

Contribution margin ​$72,000                 ​  $63,750                    ​$51,000

Fixed costs                  38,000 ​                  $33,000​                   $33,000

Operating profit ​      $34,000 ​                  $30,750​                     $18,000

Explanation:

a) Calculations for flexible budget:

Sales volume = 8,000/8,000 x 10,000 = 10,000 units

Sales revenue = $235,000/8,000 x 10,000 = $293,750

Variable costs = $184,000/8,000 x 10,000 = $230,000

Fixed Costs will remain at $33,000

b) A flexible budget is a budget that adjusts or flexes with changes according to the volume or activity level.  On the other hand, the static budget amounts do not change from the amounts established at the time that the static budget was prepared and approved.
