In economics, business, and accounting, a cost is the value of inputs that have been used up to produce something, and hence are not available for use anymore. In business, the cost may be one of acquisition, in which case the amount of money expended to acquire it is counted as cost. In this case, money is the input that is gone in order to acquire the thing. This acquisition cost may be the sum of the cost of production as incurred by the original producer, and further costs of transaction as incurred by the acquirer over and above the price paid to the producer. Usually, the price also includes a mark-up for profit over the cost of production.\n\nEffectiveness means the capability of, or success in, achieving a given goal. Contrary to efficiency, the focus of effectiveness is the achievement as such, not the resources spent, so anything that is effective is not necessarily efficient.\n\nAn ordinary way to distinguish between effectiveness and efficiency:\n\neffectiveness: doing the "right" things \nefficiency: doing the things "right"

Typically you would present your actual numbers for the period  in one column and the budget in another column and maybe last years actual number in the next column in such a fashion that they can be easly compared.  When comparing the amounts by line item big variances would trigger some further investigation.\n\nBudgets are typically for your own use although if you supply a budget to your bank they might want to see a comparison.  Budgets are never a part on any audited financial statements.

Use the envelope system.  Make a realistic budget for each category and when you get paid put that much money into each envelope.  When the money in the envelope is gone you don't buy anything else in that category.

I suggest that before you make a budget (which obviously you need to do), you keep a small notebook with you for a few weeks.  Write down every penny (cash, credit, debit, check) you spend in the notebook.  This will help you build your budget and quickly show you where the leaks are.

A budget deficit occurs when an entity (often a government) spends more money than it takes in. The opposite is a budget surplus.\n\nThe size of a governmental budget deficit is often an important political issue as well as one of economic policy. Fiscal conservatives denounce deficit spending and advocate balanced budgets. Keynesians argue that under some circumstances, deficit spending is justified. "Starve-the-beast" strategies usually lead to high budget deficits\nTry this link, it will provide you the details:-\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_deficit

Crores.  Wow.  I really, really, can't determine how this word was meant to be typed.  I'm really intrigued; could you please update the question with the correct spelling to satisfy my curiosity?

Schools get a budget every year.  If they don't use up all the money, then they get less the next year.  Its not about being cost effective, its all about using up the money.  Just imagine all the fuel that gets used with all the buses just to have a half of a day of school.

First start with the fiscal accounting of your local government. In my town of 5000 that is about 100 pages. Then move to the fiscal report of the County. That is about 1000 pages. Then the State, currently reported to be 30, 000 pages. The Federal Government report I am told is over 100,000 pages of graphs, charts, lists, and such. \nWhat you are asking for is a simple explanation of the budget in layman's terms. That won't be happening until a private citizen's group sits down and undertakes the job to parse out all of the BS. A huge undertaking that has no payoff at the end. Sorry, but most of us are too busy making a living to undertake such a daunting task, and no politician will ever touch this with a ten foot pole. The fraud and waste of Government are the key mechanisms that it feeds on. Hell, if you can find one bill in Congress that doesn't have five to a hundred riders that have nothing to do with the original bill, I will shake your hand. Your idealism is well noted, but it is going to take social upheaval to change anything any time soon.

Generally, it means they will charge you only what you can afford.\n\nSomeone with an income of $100,000 might pay $100 for something on a sliding scale, while someone with an income of $10,000 might only pay $5-$6.  That was just an example, but that is how it works.\n\nGood luck!

I believe this refers to setting a business' budget by functional area such as operations, engineering, human resources, finance, etc.  Each functional area or department would set its own spending limits (budget) for the coming year, month or other period.

One that covers everything -- and often one that is used in all circumstances.  It is not particularly a legal phrase.  You see it also in phrases like -- "blanket approval"  -- blanket approval to spend the limit of the budget menas you have approval to spend that already, no matter the circumstances.
