Budgeting for The Creator Ops Steam

Original post written by Ryan

For the budgeting the whole class worked together as a team to complete the Budgeting side of things but there was a few us that that gathered all the information about items that we were buying which included… GST amount, the item, where to buy it from, the price and the amount of stock that we wanted to buy, and the purpose of buying particular items and how they fitted in with our learning purposes.

It took the three or four of us about two or three days to finish the Budgeting side of things.

Here are some of the problems that we had to solve when we encountered them.

The first problem we encountered was the arguing of who was doing what.

Second of all was overspending the first time we calculated the total price we counted that we had a 50 cents left but we had counted wrong as we found later on.

Here is the list of what we got.
