C) variable costs of $72,000 and $25,000 of fixed costs

Explanation:

To determine the flexible budget we must first calculate the variable costs of producing 8,000 units:

direct labor per unit = $40,000 / 5,000 units = $8 per unit

electric power per unit = $5,000 / 5,000 units = $1 per unit

total variable cost per unit = $8 + $1 = $9

Total variable costs for 8,000 units = 8,000 units x $9 per unit = $72,000

Total fixed costs = $25,000
