Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
To calculate the occupancy expenses in the flexible budget for December, we need to multiply the December budgeted units (10,000) with the budgeted occupancy cost per unit ($1.611).

Occupancy expenses in the flexible budget for December = 10,000 x $1.611 = $16,110

Therefore, the closest option is B) $16,114.
Explanation :
Cost = Fixed cost + (Variable cost per unit × q)
= $9,100 + ($2.10 × 3,340)= $16,114
