To Do: Using Excel, Prepare:

a Balance Sheet and Income Statement for 2016

an Operating Budget for 2016 using the information provided and adding in 2 new sources of revenue and categorizing expenses as fixed or variable.

an Operating Budget for 2017 using the modified zero based budget method with a forecasted 2% increase in total revenues and a 3% decrease in eligible expenses.

Briefly explain why you chose the new revenue sources and how you chose which expenses to cut.

*Use the Excel spreadsheet posted on Course Den as a starting point

**Remember that Balance Sheets have to be Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity. If yours doesnt balance, you need to double check numbers. Also remember that the Balance Sheet shows a cumulative balance of an account on a specific day, while the Income Statement shows what was earned or spent in a particular account over the entire year.
