Who would you involve in the actual budget planning process and why – ex all
employees, just managers, just owner, etc. and why based on what you learned in this
course?
What type of input do you need for your budgets and why- ex. office managers to
estimate next year’s equipment needs, full-time nurse to estimate patient supplies, etc.
Budget Samples
•
•
Embed the two sample budget reports learned in class (Cash Budget and Selling and
Administrative Expense Budget) using Excel and justify your budget numbers for this
new company. For example, rent is based on the market rate in the area of $4,500 per
month or salary expense is estimated at $60,000 for the office manager and $15 per hour
for the part-time front desk clerk, etc.
Be sure the samples relate directly to the company you selected in your introduction. For
example, if you say your company is online only and you work from your house there
may not be rent expense, but there will be internet connection fees and so on.
