D

One thing that every good money manager does is to make a budget(预算).

What is a budget? It's means of keeping trace(轨迹)of exactly how much money is coming in and exactly how much money is going out. If you get an allowance(零用钱), you want to know how much money you have at any given time. Y ou don't want to run out of money when you really need it.

So, people make budgets.

The most common way to make a budget is to write down every single expense and every single income. Here is an example:

Mai-Ling's Babysitting Service

Date Expenses Income

6-13 ＄20

6-20 ＄20

6-27 Bus fare＄20

So at the end of June, Mai-Ling has spent ＄20 but earned(赚取) ＄40. She has ＄20 left over.

Now, this amount of money is relatively small. Mai-Ling can easily count just how much money she is spending and taking in, so she can easily know that she has that ＄20 left over.

But what about a large company, which has hundreds of expenses and many sources(来源) of income each month? That company especially needs to keep track of its money going out and coming in, so the company can pay its bills.

So large companies keep budgets, too. Here is an example:

First National Toy Company

Date Expenses Income

3-3 ＄1,000

3-10 ＄1,200

3-17 ＄1,200

3-24 ＄1,500

3-31 Salaries(工资)＄3,000 ＄1,500

3-31 Rent(房租)＄1,200

3-31 Electricity＄800

3-31 Insurance(保险)＄950

Total ＄5,950 ＄6,400

The toy company earned ＄6,400 in sales in March. The company paid out ＄5,950 in expenses. So the company made ＄450 in March.

Why is it a good idea to know all this? What if the company wanted to buy a new computer system and that new computer system cost ＄2,000? If the company had only ＄450, then they'd have to buy the computer system by borrowing money. Also, if the company has a few more months like March, when income is more than expenses, then the company can plan ahead and save up enough money to buy that computer system, so the company doesn't have to borrow money.

A company will also keep a budget in order to see whether spending money on things like advertising is a good idea. Take a look at the graph(图表) below. It is the same as the one above, with one important addition: It has a line for advertising.

3-31 Electricity＄800

3-31 Insurance(保险)＄950

Total ＄6,450 ＄7,400

Company manager will look at this budget and decide whether to advertise again, based on how much money they make or lose.

For all of these reasons, keeping a budget keeps you aware of how much money you have, whether it's ＄20 or 20,000. Companies do it, and you can do it, too.
