Part 1

I have a template set up on the Budgetsolution worksheet that you should use to complete the required budgets and requirements stated below.

You need to use cell references in the development of your budgets.

You must use this worksheet to reference the data that is being inputted onto the budgets on the budget worksheet.

You should use this worksheet as your data field and only use cell references and formulas in your budgets.

Your grade will be based on accuracy of your solution and correct usage of excel. The budget worksheet has formatted budgets for you to complete.

The beauty behind excel is that managers can perform what-if analysis just by changing the data, so you do not need to retype the budgets if you

have used cell references and formulas throughout.

Prepare the following second quarter budgets and answer the questions listed on the template provided on the BudgetSolution Worksheet. I have adapted the budget model to meet the needs of this company.

If I bolded a line item, that is a header and does not need computation on that row.

Please note the quarter column is for the quarter so not all lines should be added across in the quarter column. When you have beginning and ending inventory or cash balances this is for the quarter and should be brought over to the quarter column.
