                                  Actual Results    Flexible Budget    Static   Budget

Sales volume (in units) 12,000                            16,000

Sales revenues          $600,000             $                         $ 800,000

Variable costs          240,000           $                 322,240

Contribution margin $360,000         $                                 $477,760

Fixed costs             275,100                $              269,700

Operating profit      $84,900             $              $208,060

The flexible budget will report $ 320,000 for variable costs.

For 16000 units the Flexible Budget would be

Sales Revenue           ($600,000 /12000)16000 =$ 800,000

Variable Costs           (240,000 /12000)16000 =  $ 320,000

Contribution Margin        $ 480,000                                    

Fixed Costs                          275,100  ( assuming fixed costs to be same

                                                                        for 16000 units)

Operating Profit                  204,900

You can sell it later. if you lease, you are paying money for someone else's car. say you can buy a car for 20thousand or lease for 1000 per month. after 20months, you would have paid the exact same amount, except if you bought the car, you now have an asset tht can be sold.
