This project requires you to develop a personal budget from scratch using MS Excel. It is important that businesses and individuals track spending and create budgets for financial planning. How many of you have scribbled notes on the back of a scratch piece of paper that you throw away after writing bills for the month? In this scenario, MS Excel can be useful to create a budget that you can track electronically. Create your own worksheet that incorporates the major features that you have learned about in the first half of the course. Include income and expenses for all 12 months in the budget. All of this information should be fictitious. Please do not include any of your own personal information.
You will be graded on use of all features, professional impact, organization, creativity and overall impression. (Remember, creativity makes an impression!) Be sure to include these key features (and more): number formatting, wrapping text, merging cells, naming worksheets, formulas, functions, font styles and sizes, borders, adjustments to column width and row height, cell borders and fill colors, mathematical operators, and relative and absolute cell references. Upon completion, upload your Excel Spreadsheet to the Assignments area.
