Answer:
The correct answer is budget slack.
Explanation:
Budget slack occurs in a company when one or more people with budgetary responsibility create a budget that overestimates expenses and / or underestimates projected income or income.
Intentional budget slack can occur because a manager feels under the weapon to "make their numbers", often in response to previous quarters where revenues fell below projections and, more importantly, did not meet expectations of the owners or shareholders.
