Evaluation and Financing

Using the Internet, write a 2–3-page budget analysis. Select 2–3 scholarly references on public health program financial plans to use in support of your response. Make sure to include evidence-based information and scholarly references.

Complete the following:

• Develop a cohesive budget to include types of cost analyses. Your budget analysis should be developed using an Excel spreadsheet. Review the readings for this week for examples.
• Include the following components in your budget analysis:
  1. Selected Categories
  2. Total Budget
  3. Cumulative Expenses
  4. Dollar Variance
  5. Amount Left to Spend
  6. Percent of Unspent
  7. Percent of Variance
• Be sure to calculate the total expenditures, revenue total, and final budget total.

In a 1-page summary in Word format, provide an overview of your budget that includes a mini-synopsis of the significant points. Approach your budget analysis as a practical application and assume you are going to submit it to public health officials to solicit funding for your health program. For this assignment, you will have two deliverables—the summary in Word format and the Excel spreadsheet with your analysis.
