Consumption Budgeting
For budgeting exercise in the materials department of a company, data on the quantity of consumption of
each item by various departments in the current year are collected from the issue ward of the stores. Data
are available to us on transaction by transaction basis (note that a user-item combination may have more
than one transaction) as shown in the table named Consumption Transactions. Unit prices of items
consumed are also available in another table.
In addition, data on anticipated percentage change in the consumption of items by different users for the
coming year are collected and are available as a two-way table. Similarly, the range of percentage changes
in prices of items is collected and is available as a one-way table.
Design a spreadsheet solution that gives the value of consumption, of each of the items for each user,
during the current year in the fonn of a two-way table (Item-User).
Based on the projected consumption changes and price changes, develop possible ranges of budget figures
for the consumption of items next year.
