Personal Budget

At the beginning of the school year, Katherine Malloy decided to prepare a cash budget for the months of September, October, November, and December. The budget must plan for enough cash on December 31 to pay the spring semester tuition, which is the same as the fall tuition. The following information relates to the budget:

Cash balance, September 1 (from a summer job)	$8,330
Purchase season football tickets in September	110
Additional entertainment for each month	290
Pay fall semester tuition in September	4,500
Pay rent at the beginning of each month	400
Pay for food each month	230
Pay apartment deposit on September 2 (to be returned December 15)	600
Part-time job earnings each month (net of taxes)	1,030

a. Prepare a cash budget for September, October, November, and December. Enter all amounts as positive values except an overall cash decrease which should be indicated with a minus sign.
