I have to create an operating budget (Income Expenditure) and cash flow budget witth the below data, but I have few questions and I am super confused. Can you help me answer my questions?
Question
1: When creating a budgeted vs actual Income/Expenses for the quarter, do we only include data from April May June, since April is the new quarter?
2: When creating an income and expenses, to calculate the total revenue, do we use the income from the forecast revenue from the given month, for example
April has 410,000 or do we use the revenue received for the same month(77% in the same month and 23% in the following month) and use remaining % as a part of
revenue for the following month?
3: while calculating expenses, do we calculate the revenue from the amount received in the same month? for example
Room COGS says 59% of Room Revenue in the same month, so shall we do 59% of 410,000 or 59% of 315,700(0.77*410,000)?
4:under the expense, shall we put 0% of the room revenue as a part of the given month's expenses and put 10% as part of the following month's expenses or shall we put 100% of expenses in the given month?
Below is the data
