A budget (from old French bougette, purse) is generally a list of all planned expenses and revenues. It is a plan for saving and spending. A budget is an important concept in microeconomics, which uses a budget line to illustrate the trade-offs between two or more goods. In other terms, a budget is an organizational plan stated in monetary terms.

In summary, the purpose of budgeting is to:

  1. Provide a forecast of revenues and expenditures i.e. construct a model of how our business might perform financially speaking if certain strategies, events and plans are carried out.
  2. Enable the actual financial operation of the business to be measured against the forecast.

Business start-up budget

The process of calculating the costs of starting a small business begins with a list of all necessary purchases including tangible assets (for example, equipment, inventory) and services (for example, remodeling, insurance), working capital, sources and collateral. The budget should contain a narrative explaining how you decided on the amount of this reserve and a description of the expected financial results of business activities. The assets should be valued with each and every cost.all other expenses are like labour factory overhead all freshment expenses are also uncluded into business budgting

What is a reasonable budget for a long weekend in Budapest?
Q. We will have about 3 days in Budapest. Flights & hotel & tram ticket already paid for. Am trying to budget food + sightseeing + occasional taxi. I know Hungary is cheap and we are buying in pounds, but I want to get some Forints ahead of time to have cash on hand. Thanks!

A. I've had many long weekends in Budapest. If you're only thinking food, sightseeing and taxi fares - then 50-60 per person should be more than enough. I'm speaking from experience, both when staying at hotels or at a friend's place. Even that may be too much. Also, I'm talking average restaurants, cake shops and sightseeing. It is cheap on the whole. We never had any restrictions, but since we also did some shopping, this is the most accurate figure I could come up with. Have fun:)

A. "A Guidebook on the Preparation of a Hospital Strategic Business Plan" "The Business Plan is a critical document to the transition of the hospital from a purely government subsidized health facility to its desired autonomous status." "Does Performance Budgeting Work?" "Performance budgeting refers to procedures or mechanisms intended to strengthen links between the funds provided to public sector entities and their outcomes and/or outputs through the use of formal performance information in resource allocation decision making."

What is the difference between Low Budget Airlines and Low Cost Airlines? Or are they identical?
Q. I am looking for websites which speak quite extensively on Low Budget Airlines, telling what they are and what they do, and, perhaps, giving examples of them in Europe, the US, or wherever.
Asked by Tee - Wed May 10 07:53:04 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The difference between budget and cost would be a budget is the money they have to spend on planes, repairs, crew, etc... the cost is the ammount you have to pay. However, do to them having less budget usually means their fares are lower due to them not having as many commodities. So US Airways although might not have the best planes, crew, etc... will cost less than it's big flashy brother American Airlines.
