Wait, is this a trick question? I thought budgets were supposed to be carved in stone, like the Ten Commandments of finance.

A, because everything these days is computer-generated. It's the only way to make sure the numbers add up, even if they're completely made up.

D, definitely D. An 'ideal' budget is what we all strive for, even if it's as mythical as a unicorn.

I'm going with B. A budget should be set in stone, like a contract. No flexing allowed, that's cheating!

I see your point, but I still think B is the most reliable choice. Fixed budgets provide stability and accountability.

But what if unexpected expenses come up? Wouldn't a flexible budget be more practical?

I disagree, D is the best option. An ideal budget sets ambitious goals for the organization.

I think C could also work. Flexing the budget allows for adjustments based on changing circumstances.

Hmm, I think C is the correct answer. A budget needs to be flexible to adjust to changing circumstances, not fixed in stone like an ancient tablet.
