Budget Allocation Assignment

After receiving $120,000 to be allocated to 15 high school athletic teams, we decided to make the following changes to the teams' budgets and needs:

First, we chose to delegate a fundraiser for the football team of $60 per person as well as men's and women's swimming, women's track and field, and men's track and field.  We also splite the $20,000 donation up into the overall budget wherever needed.

Next, we decided to get rid of men's and women's downhill skiing which would free up $15,500 in order to use that money in other areas in need.  This decision was largely based upon the fact that skiing is a 'higher-income' type sport and that it's not reasonable to be included in a public high school's budget.  Therefore, it will be made into a club sport/organization.

We also decided to allow the softball team their $10,000 trip to Florida since they're ranked number one in their respective conference.

In order to free up more money, we demoted the hockey team to the club level which freed up $19,000 (that was previously included in ice time and miscellaneous expenses.)

Lastly, men's and women's soccer will be given new jerseys because they're both ranked 3rd in their respective conferences.  That then left us with $14,050.  With the remaining money, we will buy new football helmets for $6,000 and also new mats for men's track and field for $6,000.  Also, our $1,200  will be allocated to the volleyball team for new jerseys.
