Budget (from French bougette, purse) generally refers to a list of all planned expenses and revenues. It is a plan for saving and spending. A budget is an important concept in microeconomics, which uses a budget line to illustrate the trade-offs between two or more goods. In other terms, a budget is an organizational plan stated in monetary terms.

In summary, the purpose of budgeting is to:

  1. Provide a forecast of revenues and expenditures i.e. construct a model of how our business might perform financially speaking if certain strategies, events and plans are carried out.
  2. Enable the actual financial operation of the business to be measured against the forecast.

Business start-up budget

The process of calculating the costs of starting a small business begins with a list of all necessary purchases including tangible assets (for example, equipment, inventory) and services (for example, remodeling, insurance), working capital, sources and collateral. The budget should contain a narrative explaining how you decided on the amount of this reserve and a description of the expected financial results of business activities. The assets should be valued with each and every cost.

Q. I am renting a 10' truck from Budget and it states that it comes with 2 seats... I been in rental moving trucks where they say its 2 seats but in actuality its one long couch seat which means a third person can sit in the middle.

A. not really "super answer", my truck only has 2 seats in the front but its 2 buckets so nobody can seat in the middle, most moving trucks does have the bench seat for the 3rd person in the middle but you could probably call them up and just ask

How to make a budget plan for my daughter living at campus?
Q. My daughter who is 19 is always having money problems. She can not manage living in university campus. It is disrupting her health and studies. Please advise how to make a budget plan for a student living in campus.
Asked by BK29 - Tue Oct 9 07:56:25 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. She's getting it very wrong if she's living on campus - budgeting is the easiest there. You know the rent, the books are bought at the beginning fo the year, it's just then allocating money to food, activities and extras. As for disrupting her health and studies, I hesitate to suggest that she needs to be more disciplined. If she cannot concentrate in her room, the libraries are normally open for very long hours, or there may also be dedicated computer rooms.
