Explanation / Answer

1) Revenue in flexible budget = (35*5600) = $196000

2) Employee salaries and wages in flexible budget = (35*1000+63000) = $98000

3) Travel expense in flexible budget = 550*35 = 19250

4) Other expense in flexible budget = 42000

5) Net operating income in flexible budget = (196000-98000-19250-42000) = $36750
