Question - The ABC Company sells holiday packages. One particular package, a nine-day rafting trip, had budgeted revenue for 2011 of 110 packages at $900 per package. The Flexible Budget amount for Revenues was $72,000 (based on the actual sales volume). The actual sales price for each of these packages was $875.
