The nursing professors are asked by the department chairperson to submit a list of equipment that could used to meet the department's objectives
The list includes 12 new computers, a mannequin for the nursing laboratory, and special software to use with the mannequin during scenarios. The department chairperson categorizes these items into which type of budget?
1. Capital budget
2. Operating budget
3. Personnel budget
4. Supply budget
Answer: 1
Rationale: All of these different types of budgets will assist the organization in meeting objectives. These items belong in the capital budget. They are unusual expenses that do not recur year after year. The operating budget is used to purchase supplies and pay personnel to allow the unit to function in accordance with organizational objectives. They do not belong in the personnel budget. The personnel budget is comprised of money used to pay staff members or faculty members for work performed. The items in the question are not a piece of the supply budget because they are not supplies that need to be replenished frequently.
