Please highlight your answers.

Formatting is as important as the correct answer for this project. Your spreadsheet should be in good form, presented and printed clearly, and labeled appropriately. Your print out should be in report format and clearly presented. Each budget should not span more than one page, i.e. pay attention to what prints out on each page.

In addition to your spreadsheet, you MUST print out your spreadsheet formulas. Use control r-d to toggle over to view the formulas and then print again. Projects submitted without formulas will only receive half credit.

Check figures: cash collections at end of quarter = $775,500 Deficiency in cash at the end of the quarter = ($95,740)

You will need to borrow and repay during the quarter.

(Note that due to varying assumptions made in the budgeting process, your numbers may be slightly different than mine. If your balance sheet balances, then your budget works.)
