1.  A flexible budget report will show both actual and budget cost based on the actual activity level achieved.

2.  Cost centers, profit centers, and investment centers can all be classified as responsibility centers.

3.  A cost center incurs costs and generates revenues and cost center managers are evaluated on the profitability of their centers.

5.  Management by exception means that management will investigate areas where actual results differ from planned results if the items are material and controllable.
