What is a Budget?Controlling costs is an important aspect of business. Some individuals may determine that this is the single most important aspect of a financial position in an organization. A budget is an estimate of how much your costs will be for a given period. In finance and accounting, a very important aspect of accounting is to create a budget (an estimate of costs) and then compare the actual costs to the budget. The actual costs can typically be retrieved from your accounting software.The reports that are generated from accounting software are not always user friendly. In many cases, there is nowhere for a budget to be entered. What happens when you have an expense in a category where there was no budget? By using a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel, you can translate the report data into any format that you like. For example, you can group all of the different expense accounts based on a particular project. The possibilities are endless with the flexibility of a spreadsheet program.Your assignment is to create a one-year budget (forecast) as a team in Excel, based on the real estate company you set up. As a team you can decide when/if you would like to do the following real estate transactions. You will explain your decisions in your team\’s analysis paper.

Unit VI PowerPoint Presentation  Fire Prevention Program  For this assignment, you will be developing a Fire Prevention Program that you will present via PowerPoint. You will draw ideas from both your occupational and educational experiences and knowledge. These are familiar surroundings, which are likely to aide in your development of a program of fire prevention and life safety. Provided below is a brief scenario to get you started.   Scenario: You have been a member of your organization’s Fire Prevention and Life Safety division for a number of years, and you have just completed several college level courses relating to fire prevention and occupational safety and health with an online university. You have presented your most recent grade records to your supervisor who is very impressed with your accomplishments. In light of your achievement in these courses, your supervisor has assigned you the task of creating a formal Fire Prevention and Life Safety Presentation to be composed for presentation to various civic organizations such as Lions Club, Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, and the local Elks Lodge. Your primary target audiences will be comprised mainly of adults therefore your presentation must be designed and geared for the adult learner.  Your supervisor asks you to put together a slide presentation using the Five-Step Program model given by Diamantes (pp. 168-170 of your textbook). Your final presentation will provide your supervisor details of your process used in assembling the presentation. A minimum of three slides must be devoted to each of the five-steps. Be innovative, creative, and remember this is the first step in the overall process of creating a presentation worthy of public viewing and interest. This presentation will be seen by ONLY your supervisor (at this time); however, you must make an impression that confirms you have the “right stuff” to venture out for formal presentations to civic organizations.   Keep in mind that your organization has never embarked on such a project. You are the first, and as such, you want to ensure that your supervisor views a clear and concise series of slides. It is intended that once you have mastered the concepts and mechanics of the five-step process, your supervisor will, in all likelihood, assign you the additional task of composing a formal slide presentation that will include specific elements relative to fire prevention measures intended to education the public in both civic organizations as well as the public-at-large.  Treat your PowerPoint slides like any research paper—provide in-text citations and a reference slide for any outside sources including direct quotations, paraphrased words or ideas, tables and data, and images.  Your completed presentation should contain the following:    A title slide (title, your name, and your organization’s name);  15-20 slides detailing your Fire Prevention Program; and  a reference slide (minimum of three references should be used to complete this assignment, not including the textbook, and be sure to utilize the Online Library).  Be sure to make use of the Notes area of each slide to contain your own narration, as each slide should be brief and concise. Notes are used during presentations and are not seen by the viewers.  Information about accessing the Blackboard Grading Rubric for this assignment is provided below I also have a ppp that I purchased that does not have citation in the body that needs fixed.
