3. A planning budget is prepared before the period begins and is valid for only the planned level of activity. True False
4. A flexible budget is an estimate of what revenues and costs should have been, given the level of activity that had been planned for the period. True False
5. An unfavorable activity variance for a cost indicates that spending was higher than it should have been for the actual level of activity for the period. True False
6. The activity variance for revenue is unfavorable if the actual revenue for the period is less than the revenue in the static planning budget. True False
