MillionDollarProject

For this project, you will be describing what you would do with a million dollar budget. Your goal is to come up with a plan to budget a million dollars for something you always dreamed of. Here are a few examples.

Open a book store, bake shop, video-arcade, toy store or fashion store. Plan a trip for you and your classmates to an exciting location. Visit all of the baseball parks in America. Open a charitable organization such as a soup kitchen or homeless shelter. Open a pet care facility or animal shelter.

Your million dollars should be used to 'launch' or open your idea and should cover your first month's operating expenses.

You need to keep your expenses broken down by categories, ex. staff costs, building costs, utilities, products (inventory), advertising, food supplies Then, in each category, you should list the items and the cost per unit (or per item)

Ex. Video Game Store Inventory Wii Adventure Games 100 x $20 = $2,000 Wii Fantasy Games 100 x $25 = $2,500 Wii Sports Games 50 x $20 = $1,000 Game cube Adv. Games 100 x $30 = $3,000

Wii Game Counsels 10 x $150 = $1,500 Game Cube Counsels 20 x $150 = $3,000

Total Inventory Costs $$13,000

After completing all of your data collection, you will be entering the data into Numbers to generate graphs, charts and to convert your expenses into fractions and percentages. This will be done during Technology class.

Finally, you will present your idea in a Keynote. You should include the following slides. Introduction - your name and brief description of your idea Category Breakdown - Itemized Breakdown per category. Include a pie chart or bar graph displaying the category breakdown Concluding Slide describing any surprises you may have discovered.
