    Solution

    Assertion: A fixed budget is a budget that does not change, regardless of the level of activity. It is based on a single level of output, and the budgeted amounts are not adjusted for changes in activity. Fixed budgets are typically used for budgeting fixed costs, such as rent, salaries, and depreciation. Reason: A cost center is a responsibility center that only focuses on costs. The manager of a cost center is responsible for controlling the costs of the center, but they do not have any control over the revenues of the center. A responsibility center is a unit of an organization that is headed by a manager who is responsible for the performance of that unit. Responsibility centers can be classified into cost centers, revenue centers, profit centers, and investment centers.
