You give her information for a for-profit and for a nonprofit entity and ask her to complete the following:

• Given the assumptions and data in this Excel file:
  • complete next year’s budgeted figures for each entity within the same Excel worksheet (yellow cells)
  • include your reasoning for most of the budgeted figures (green cells)

Because of a bad recession, government grants were not cut by 50% but are eliminated completely for next year’s budget and fundraising efforts—despite an increase in expenses—did not improve at all.
