the pre-defined templates. It does not need to be elaborate. An example is shown on the next

page.

should be realistic.

month. You also want to have a running balance so you know how much you have at

the end of each month. Your starting balance at the beginning of the year is $5,000.

c. You need to input your labels, revenue descriptions, expense descriptions and

amounts. You will need to identify where formulas are applicable. For example, if your

wages for January is $4,500 and it is to continue for the balance of the year, then the

amount for February will be =B5. This will make your model more flexible if you want

to change the wage amount.

to create the increase so you do not embed the 10% as a number in the formula. Your

formula should refer to the 10% in an assumption or variable section of the worksheet.

This way you do not need to change the formulas if the 10% changes to 15% for

example.
