Public Safety Division Budget
Proposal
San Pueblo's
Public Safety division comprises three departments —Streets and Sanitation,
Fire, and Police. The departments have submitted figures comparing this year's
budget with next year's budget in four categories (Table below). Develop a
template that can be used to prepare each department's budget and the Public
Safety division's consolidated total budget within one workbook.(Each department should have a tab with totals on another tab) Include this
year's budget, next year's budget, and the variance [(next year's budget -
this year's budget) / this year's budget] for each expenditure. Indicate totals
where appropriate. Create an embedded chart on the Public Safety division's
worksheet comparing the division's expenditures this year and next.

2. Creating a Consolidated Balance Sheet
Jeans-For-Teens
is a New York-based company that sells high-end jeans globally. After launching
its Web site five years ago, the company has attracted so many clients from
Europe that the owners opened a shop in Paris. The New York and Paris shops'
assets last year, respectively, were: cash $825,101 and $650,450; accounts
receivable $557,190 and $325,860; marketable securities $345,213 and $211,450;
inventory $845,258 and $326,120; and equipment $82,250 and $56,200. The
liabilities for each store were: notes payable $1,512,381 and $345,000;
accounts payable $213,360 and $179,900; and income tax payable $82,100 and
$125,350. The stockholders' equity was: common stock $812,300 and $235,000; and
retained earnings $324,242 and $162,400.
Design a
template as a balance worksheet to reflect the figures above. Include totals
for assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity. Use the template to create a
balance worksheet for the New York store, the Paris store, and the consolidated
balance worksheet for the corporation.
3. Analyzing Company Profits by
Category
Elite
Software sells computer software and supplies. Merchandise is divided into six
categories base profit margin: individual application packages (22%),
integrated application packages (9%), entertainment software (16%), system
software (25%), learning aids (18%), and supplies
(10%). Last year’s salary data has been collected for the State Street and
Western Avenue Stores as shown in the Table below.
Develop a template that can be used to
determine marketing strategies for next year. Include sales, profit margins,
profits (sales x profit margin), total sales, total profits, and functions to
determine the most and least sales, profit margins, and profits. Use the
template to create a worksheet for each outlet, a consolidated worksheet for
the entire company, and a chart on a separate sheet reflecting the company's
profits by category.
