This my checkpoint assignment for my HSM/220 class. I wanted to make sure I did this correctly.
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.

To determine if you have completed the assignment correctly, we can go through each budget item and see if you have included the necessary information in each column.
1. Executive director salary:
- In the "Functional budget" column: You need to determine the personnel costs per member enrolled. Here, you have put an "x," but it is not clear what this means. Make sure to calculate the executive director's salary based on the number of members enrolled.
- In the "Line-item budget" column: You need to determine the total non-salary costs. Here, you have put an "x," but it is unclear if this item is part of the non-salary costs. Make sure to include the executive director's salary in the appropriate category.
2. Training supervisor salary:
- Follow the same process as above for the training supervisor's salary.
3. Trainers salary:
- Again, follow the same process as above for the trainers' salary.
4. Employee benefits:
- In the "Functional budget" column: Determine the personnel costs per member enrolled. Include employee benefits as part of this calculation.
- In the "Line-item budget" column: Determine the total non-salary costs. Include employee benefits in this category if it is applicable.
5. Equipment:
- In the "Functional budget" column: Determine the personnel costs per member enrolled. It is unclear why you have put an "x" here. Equipment costs should be kept separate from personnel costs.
- In the "Line-item budget" column: Determine the total non-salary costs. Include the equipment costs in this category.
6. Supplies, facility rent, travel, utilities, depreciation of equipment, transportation:
- Follow the same process as above for each of these budget items. Determine the personnel costs per member enrolled in the "Functional budget" column, and determine the total non-salary costs in the "Line-item budget" column.
7. Outside consultants:
- It is unclear if this item should be included in the budget or not. You have left it blank, but you should verify if it is required for the assignment.
8. Indirect costs:
- In the "Functional budget" column: Determine the personnel costs per member enrolled. It is unclear why you have put an "x" here. Indirect costs should be kept separate from personnel costs.
- In the "Line-item budget" column: Determine the total non-salary costs. Include the indirect costs in this category.
Double-check your assignment instructions to ensure you have correctly classified and calculated each budget item. If you are unsure about any specific budget items, it is a good idea to consult with your instructor or refer to relevant course material.
