Notes on Estimated Budget Assignment

Below is a copy of an estimated budget submitted. It is an example.

1. Note that there is no one solution in terms of how the funds in the budget below were allocated.

2. The totals were pre-determined at $3 million for the two years, some items were split equally over two years, while some presumably show more during start-up in the first year.

3. Note that salaries and fringe benefits are 25% of this total budget, which is generally consistent with federal spending on salaries & fringe benefits as a percent of the total budget.

4. Looking at the total estimate for spending in the first year suggests higher start-up costs, which is a reasonable budget assumption.

5. This is a guide, you cannot submit this same budget

6. You are required to come up with your budget. Let us assume that you have been given the sum of $1,000,000 to spend for a period of 3 years. How would you allocate the fund?
