Explanation:

Your question is not well presented.

The figures are not well arranged and are difficult to trace.

To solve your question, I'll make use of the attached data; if you follow the steps I'll provide in solving this, you'll be able to solve yours

Given

Estimated customers = 30

Actual customers = 35

A flexible budget is a budget that adjusts or flexes with changes in volume or activity

1. Calculating the amount of revenue would be included in Adger's flexible budget for May.

Revenue = Variable element per customer * number of customer

Variable element per customer = $5,200

Number of customer; here, we'll make use of the actual number of customers; not the expected number.

So, number of customer = 35

Since there's no Variable element per customer, revenue is calculated as follows

Revenue in flexible budget = $5200 * 35 = $182,000

2. Calculating employees' salaries and wages in flexible budget

Also, we'll make use of actual number of customers.

Employees salaries = Fixed element + number of customers * Variable element

Employees salaries = $51,000 + 35 * $1,200

Employees salaries = $51,000 + $42,000

Employees salaries = $93,000

3). Calculating Travel expenses

Since there's no Variable element per customer

ravel expenses would be calculated by

Variable element per customer* number of customers

Travel Expenses = $650 * 35 = $22750

4. Calculating Other expenses

Here, there's no Variable element per customer

So, other expenses = fixed element

Other expenses= $30000
