Jessica Rabbit Case Project - 130 points
Jessica Rabbit and George Foreman are contemplating becoming business partners of an out-door grill company appropriately named, “Outdoor Chef Grill.” Jessica has been a customer of George Foreman’s grills for years. George accepted her proposal to be a business partner, as he believes that Jessica’s name and image will bring in a new demographic of shoppers. Although Jessica is an outgoing lady, she has not managed her personal money and needs to obtain funding for her capital contribution. Potential investors have asked for budgets and forecasts for the revenue and expenses of the company. Since George’s finance department is in the process of preparing budgets for 4Q of 2019, he is having the finance department create a special monthly forecast budget for Roger as well as an annual forecast and budget. You, being one of George’s employees, is asked to prepare the monthly budget for October 2019.
