create a school budget using a district allocation formula and table of employee costs.
You will use the enrollment from the Happy Trails (Florida) FTE Case problem. Using the enrollment, you will develop the school’s operating budget, providing the Function & Object for each of the items listed in the budget.

The non-salary allocations are located on the 4th page of the link below. You will need to copy/paste the link to open the Allocation formula.
