hello, can you please explain with formulas and step by step how to do these questions thank you!

Vroom-Vroom manufactures ride-on cars for toddlers and young children. They have a fiscal year of January through December. When they were preparing their budget, they couldn't decide if a static or flexible budget would be best for their company - so they did both. It is now March, and their accounting department is catching up on analyzing variances for both January and February. Vroom-Vroom would like to use this opportunity to determine whether they would be better off with a static or flexible budget going forward. They want to choose which budget and related variance analysis provides them the best information for decision-making.

Here is the data that Vroom-Vroom used for their budgets:

Monthly budget data

Selling price per unit-$79 per each

Raw materials cost-$32 per each

Packaging cost-$16 per each

Electricity-$5 per each

Waste and other cost-$7 per each

Salary and wages cost-$580,000 per month

Fringe benefits-50% of salaries

Rent cost-$950,000 per month

Insurance cost-$60,000 per month

Depreciation cost-$370,000 per month

Vroom-Vroom estimated sales/production will be between 100,000 and 300,000 cars per month. Their static budget is based on 200,000 cars sold per month. Assume that all units produced in a month are also sold in that month. Vroom-Vroom's unit of production/sale is a car (unit/each).
