In terms of the bottom line-or the end result of this trade-off-a surplus budget means profits are anticipated, a balanced budget means revenues are expected to equal expenses, and a deficit budget means expenses will exceed revenues.To manage your monthly expenses, prepare for life's unpredictable events, and be able to afford big-ticket items without going into debt, budgeting is important. Keeping track of how much you earn and spend doesn't have to be drudgery, doesn't require you to be good at math, and doesn't mean you can't buy the things you want. It just means that you'll know where your money goes, you'll have greater control over your finances.Each section contains an overview lecture. Each Learning Outcome that could be on the test is covered in detail with study notes provided and quizzes that contain past CMA exam questions on that section.To be successful writing the CMA, you must practice, practice and practice. This course requires that of you.Dr. John
