I am so confused on this assignment in HSM/220(Budget Matrix-Appendix B) and wondering if I am even close to being correct on showing where to place the X's for a Functional Budget,Line-item Budget & Total Program Budget) before I submit this assignment.
enclosed is a copy of what I have completed on my own:
Associate Level Material
Appendix B
Budget Matrix
You are the executive director of a local government workforce agency that focuses on developing training skills for high school dropouts. Determine which of the budget items listed would be necessary in order to calculate a functional, line-item, and program budget. Mark an “X” for each budget item that would be used in each budget type. Some budget items may be marked in more than one category.

Executive director salary X X
Training supervisor salary X X
Trainers salary X X
Employee benefits X X
Equipment X X
Supplies X X
Facility rent X
Travel X
Utilities X X X
Depreciation of equipment X X
Transportation X X X
Outside consultants X
Indirect costs X X X
and I cannot copy it and send it just the way it shows it on the assignment grid. The first category is: Functional budget to determine personnel costs per member enrolled, second category is: line-item budget to determine non-salary costs and third category is Total Program Budget.
I am sincerely not asking for the answers I am just asking for some guidance as to: if I am even close to completing the assignment correctly ?
Thanks for your help, as I am really confused and I have read the reading that goes with this assignment so many times that I have lost count and stressing out, badly here.

Without being able to see the real chart, it's very hard to tell. You may get some ideas from the search results in the link above.
You are right, though, that you need to set up
... all personnel costs first (salaries/wages, FICA, any other taxes and/or fees)
... then the costs for the building(s), including rent/lease, utilities, etc.
... and finally (last in priority!), machines, supplies, and everything else.
It seems like you are working on a budget matrix assignment for HSM/220. To determine which budget items would be used in each budget type (functional, line-item, and total program), you need to mark an "X" for each item that would be included in that particular budget type.
Let's go through each category and see if your answers are correct:
1. Functional budget to determine personnel costs per member enrolled:
- Executive director salary: X
- Training supervisor salary: X
- Trainers salary: X
- Employee benefits: X
2. Line-item budget to determine total non-salary costs:
- Executive director salary: X
- Training supervisor salary: X
- Trainers salary: X
- Employee benefits: X
- Equipment: X
- Supplies: X
- Utilities: X
- Depreciation of equipment: X
- Transportation: X
- Indirect costs: X
3. Total program budget:
- Executive director salary: X
- Training supervisor salary: X
- Trainers salary: X
- Employee benefits: X
- Equipment: X
- Supplies: X
- Utilities: X
- Depreciation of equipment: X
- Transportation: X
- Indirect costs: X
Based on the answers you provided, it appears that you have marked the budget items correctly for each budget type. The items that have an "X" next to them are the ones that would be used in each respective budget type.
However, it's important to note that without actually seeing the assignment grid and the options given, I can only provide general guidance. It would be best to refer to the instructions provided by your teacher or the specific guidelines of the assignment to ensure that you are following them correctly.
I hope this clarifies things for you and helps you complete your assignment. Good luck!
