Last week, you selected a business for which you’ll make a budget proposal.  Your first step is to create a sales forecast (in sales dollars) when no historical data is available.    Use methods such as historical analogy, expert judgment, consumer surveys, the Delphi method, or calculations based on population distributions, estimated growth rates, or expected market penetration rates to arrive at reasonable sales figures for your business for the next 5 years.

 

Use the Budget Proposal Workbook.xlsx and Budget Proposal Template.docx.

 

D.    Deliverables:

Complete Section 2.0 (including sections 2.1 and 2.2) in the Budget Proposal Template.docx after doing research and performing calculations to arrive at your 5 year forecast.  Also, provide calculations in the Budget Proposal Workbook.xlsx.
