PROPOSED BUDGET -- SPECIAL PROJECT This report outlines the estimated costs for carrying out the special project. Due to the nature of the project, general expenses are projected to increase 14% monthly. Performance reviews to be conducted this spring will increase salary expenditures 15% in April. The monthly increases in expenses do not include my travel costs; those will be paid for out of the department's travel budget, as we discussed. Next week I will submit a report on the profit possibilities for the project, covering worst case, best case, and what we actually expect given the information we have to date. I will submit updates to this report each month as the project progresses. By the end of April we should have a good idea whether or not this project will result in a profitible venture. If the possibilities don't look good at that point, we can cut the project short. Summary
