Discussion 4

 Post a draft of your Final Project Milestone Two initial departmental budget, which you are preparing for the upcoming fiscal year.

 For this assignment, keep these two things in mind:

1) You have the full budget to allocate.  The budget you submit for this assignment is $1,628,000.  We will do a budget reduction of 10% to respond to assumptive facts, but that will not happen until later in the course.  So, spend away!

2) The individual staff salaries and total salary pool do not match up: for the purpose of this assignment, do not worry about the individual salaries: your total salary and benefits committed for your staff is $1,113,400.  This needs to be a budgeted amount for your staffing plan to start the year.
