Answer:

Profit under flexible budget =  $1,266,000  (please  budget below)                                                

Explanation:

Flexible budget is that which is that which recognizes the cost behavior and is used for control purpose. It is prepared based on the actual level of activity achieved using the assumptions of the static budget.

So we will prepare a flexible budget for Western Company for 240,000 units using the assumption of the static budget.

                                Flexible Budget

                                                                                 $

Sales Revenue    (240,000× $9.40) =               2,256,000  

Variable cost      (240,000×  $3.00) =               ( 720,000 )

Contribution                                                          1,536,000

Fixed cost                                                            (270,000)

Profit                                                                  1,266,000
