Question:
Create a frequency budget plan for Nelson. Although his food, fuel, dining out, and entertainment expenses were listed as monthly for the cash flow, they should be considered as weekly expenses here. Round the weekly amount up to the nearest dollar. Combine electricity, water, and sanitation under the utilities category. Any categories not mentioned in the template belong in the appropriate other section. According to this frequency budget plan, what is Nelson's surplus or deficit for the year?
