Unit 8 Assignment
Enterprise Budget

 | Assignment Rubric
Points | Description
30 | Enterprise budget presented in a spreadsheet with complete costs and follows the plans set up in the production schedule
25 | Spreadsheet calculating revenues is complete and well organized
Using information from this unit and the schedule you developed for the Unit 7 assignment, create an enterprise budget for your production system.
1. Use any spreadsheet software program or online form to submit your enterprise budget.
2. Make a list of all costs you will incur. Making a complete list will require careful considerations. Here are sample questions you might need to answer for your system:
  - If you are starting your production, how can you research the cost of items you will need?
  - You can assume that you already own your land, but would there be costs related to the land?
  - Even if you planning to be a 100% grass-fed lamb operation, what would be the costs of seeding the pasture and feeding the animals in the winter?
  - What will the animals cost?
  - How will the cost of the animals change for each stage of their development?
  - What are the processing costs?
  - What costs are included in selling products: booth setups, signage, promotions, travel costs?
3. Research local selling prices of your intended product(s) to determine a realistic revenue amount for wholesale and/or retail sales.
