Explanation:

A flexible budget is that which is prepared to reflect the actual activity level achieved.  

It is useful for a control purpose; to compare the actual result to the expected performance. The expected performance is the the flexible budget which is a revised master budget.  

Also it uses the assumptions of the static budget like standard costs and prices.

Flexed budget for labour = standard hour × actual labour cost

                                          = $18×  12,600   = $ 226,800
