Date: _______
Cash Flow Task Adding and subtracting integers exist in real-world situations. One place that this is common is the business world. In starting a business, there are expenses (negative integers) to get your business started and to keep it running, as well as profits and money to be made. Youre an entrepreneur ready to begin your own business. Although you will make money in your business venture, you need to spend money to purchase certain items, pay rent and staff members, and advertise to get your business off the ground. Task: Make a cash flow table to keep your finances on track for the first month of your business. Your cash flow table must show at least 3 expenses and 2 sales made. Then answer the following questions: 1. What is your gross income? (What is the total amount of money that you have earned in the first month? Do not account for money that you have spent.) All work must be shown. 2. What is your net income? (What is the total amount of money you have left over after your expenses are subtracted from your earnings?) All work must be shown. 3. What do you predict will happen in your second month of business? Will you be more or less profitable and why? A paragraph, 3-4 sentences may be written or typed to answer the question.
