Personal budget At the beginning of the school year, Craig Kovar decided to prepare a cash budget for the months of September, October, November, and December. The budget must plan for enough cash on December 31 to pay the spring semester tuition, which is the same as the fall tuition. The following information relates to the budget:
Cash balance, September 1 (from a summer job) $8,150
Purchase season football tickets in September 130
Additional entertainment for each month 210
Pay fall semester tuition in September 4,200
Pay rent at the beginning of each month 500
Pay for food each month 460
Pay apartment deposit on September 2
(to be returned December 15) 500
Part-time job earnings each month (net of taxes) 1,000
