In this activity, you will help a fictitious family in preparing their family budget. For this, you will first read the following scenario, and then complete the steps given below.
Thomas and Alison Wilson are a recently married couple in San Diego, CA. Thomas is currently working and attending college online. Alison is an Account Representative for Sleek Clothing Co. They want to manage their family budget, but they need help.
You volunteered to help them using MS Excel to set up the formulas and functions to project their monthly expenses and help them meet their financial goals. Complete the following:
Open the Wilson workbook. Select the following link to access the Wilson workbook: Wilson Workbook Download Wilson Workbook [XLS file size 13.2 KB] There are two worksheets. The first is labeled “Documentation” and the second is labeled “Budget.” Save the workbook as Wilson_Budget.xlsx.
In cells B3 and B4 of the Documentation sheet, enter your name and the date.
Go to the Budget worksheet. In cell B7, calculate the couple’s total monthly income.
In row 23, use AutoFill to replace the numbers 1 through 12 with the month abbreviations Jan through Dec.
In rows 24 and 25, enter the couple’s monthly income in each cell by referencing the monthly income estimates in cells B5 and B6. Use an absolute cell reference.
In row 26, calculate the couple’s monthly income.
In row 37, enter formulas to calculate the total estimated expenses for each month.
In row 38, calculate each month’s net cash flow, which is equal to the total income minus the total expenses.
In row 39, calculate the running total value of the net cash flow so that Alison and Thomas can see how their net cash flow changes as the year progresses. In the first month, the running total value is equal to the net cash flow value. For the remaining months, the running total is equal to the previous month’s running total plus the current month’s net cash flow value.
In the range B10:B19, calculate the average monthly expense for each line item based on the values in rows 27 through 36.
In cell B20, calculate the total of the average monthly expenses.
The couple currently has $7,350 in their savings account. Each month, the couple will take money out of their savings account or deposit money into their savings account. In row 41, calculate the end-of-month balance in their savings account. In the first month, the end-of-month balance is calculated by adding the value in cell E5 to the Net Cash Flow value in row 38. For the remaining months, the end-of-month balance in their savings account is equal to the previous month’s end-of-month balance plus the current month’s Net Cash Flow value.
In cell E6, enter a formula to display the value of the savings balance at the end of December.Thomas and Alison would like to have $15,000 in their savings account by the end of the year. Alison is planning to ask for a raise at her job. Determine the new value of Alison’s monthly salary that will achieve a final savings balance of $15,000 (Hint: Use the what-If analysis, goal seek – don’t click OK write down the answer and click cancel). Enter the correct answer you’ve received after using goal seek in cell I6.
Save and close the workbook.
Once you have successfully completed all the steps in this assignment, submit your Wilson_Budget workbook.
This writing assignment asked you to “do some research on a social problem you are interested
in.” And “it was a practice to conduct a basic research on a social problem from economics
perspectives.”
Hence, I read and evaluated your assignment according to the following guideline in the order
of importance and sophistication.
1. Writing quality: Same principles as for the writing assignments applies here. Read my
Writing Assignment Grading Guideline.
2. Topics and connection with economics: Same principles as for the writing assignments
applies here.
3. Clear identification of the question(s) you want to address/ask in your research project.
As we talked a lot in our class, a research project comes from your own curiosity, and you
need to know what you want to learn as a result of your research. So first and foremost,
you need to communicate with the reader what you are asking in your research.
4. Clear idea about how to address your question(s). I did not expect you to conduct any
independent and original research for this assignment, and I expect all of you used some
sort of published resources (news articles, academic papers, or publicly available statistical
data, etc). If you cite those resources, you need to have a good reason why those are useful
for addressing your question(s). And more importantly, you need to communicate with
the reader about why.
A research paper is not a mere collection of information. For example, encyclopedia
or dictionary contain lots of information, but those are not a “research” in itself. The
information needs to be organized in such a way that you can guide and tell the readers
why and how you used those resources to address your question(s).
5. Consistency and strength of your analysis: This is somehow more advanced than what I
meant in Point 4. Point 4 is about logical aspect of your analysis, but this is more about
1
how well you address your question(s). First of all, your analysis needs to come from
economic perspectives. For some questions, the basic economic analysis as you learned in
Econ 201 may be sufficient. However, when it comes to social problems, you may need
to go through more critical analysis as we have been doing in our class throughout the
semester. For this, you may need to refer a bit more advanced economics idea(s) or you
may need to use non-economics resources or ideas. But you need to have a good reason for
that, and also you need to communicate with the reader well. Research is communication
after all.
6. Last but not least, for this assignment, especially at this level of your economics study, I do
not expect you to come up with any sort of conclusive results or answers to your question(s).
Yes, I hope that you found a reasonable ”settle point” or temporary resolution of your
analysis. That is what the conclusion of your paper may sound like, and you need to be
clear about it.
However, if you have a truly critical eye, you should be still wondering what more you need
to know to further address your questions and issues around them properly or completely,
if possible at all. An excellent research will often lead to more questions and thus more
research. For this reason, research is innately an on-going process. This is the most
advanced aspect of a research activity, and I want you to use this assignment as well as
the whole class activities to hone your critical eye for your own work

Part A: Case Study, Mental Status Checklist, Narrative, Sample of MSE, BDI, BAI
Part B; Essay 750 word essay reflections of the assignment
Case Study (Minimum: 150 words): Develop a 150-word case study and describe–in detail–a client who presents to an agency with one of the following mental health issues.
Choose one:
Panic Disorder
Schizophrenia
Bi-polar Disorder
Dual Diagnosis: Major Depression with Alcohol Abuse

You must create your own case study. Record word count at the bottom of the case study. (You will attach your case study following the reference page of your paper.)
Mental Status Checklist: After writing the case study, “conduct” an initial assessment of the case study client by completing the Mental Status Checklist (one version of a Mental Status Exam (MSE) is in your textbook on page 83).
Narrative (Minimum 200-250 words): Next, using the narrative example in Sands and Gellis (p 81-82) as a guide, write a narrative of the client’s Mental Status Checklist results. Your narrative must follow the example on pps. 81-82, and must be based on the information you recorded on the Mental Status Checklist. The combination of these two components becomes your initial clinical assessment. Based on the disorder used in your case study, your mental status checklist results, and the narrative write up of your mental status checklist, use information provided in the textbook to suggest a plan of action to assist your case study client. Provide in-text citations for the material used from the text.(You will attach the narrative following the reference page of your paper.)
Sample MSE: The next component of this assignment is to search the internet for various examples of a Mental Status Exam (MSE). Choose an example that you can support with evidence provides valuable information that assists HUS professionals complete an MSE. You will be discussing your example in the paper component of the assignment.
Note: you will find a significant number of MSE examples on the internet. It is suggested that you compare three different examples to make your choice
BDI and BAI: Next, review the Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Scale. Print out a copy of each. The links are found in Module 5. Make sure you include website/link information to indicate where you located the assessments. The web link information may be hand written at the bottom of your BDI and BAI copies.
As you review each self-administered inventory, consider how the textbook readings and your research has informed you about the use of self assessments in diagnosis and treatment planning. Using your references for support, provide two or three specific reasons why self assessments are beneficial and then discuss two or three limitations of self assessment tools.
As noted, in Sands & Gellis Chapter 4, there is an example narrative MSE (pps. 81-82) and a Mental Status Checklist (p. 83). As a reminder, print a copy of the Mental Status Checklist and complete it using your case study.
Prepare these documents for submission
• the completed Mental Status Checklist
• the sample MSE
• the BDI and BAI
All documents must be submitted as pdf files, separate from your paper. You may choose to create one pdf file in which the documents are ordered as listed.
After your reference page in your paper that is described below, include your case study and the narrative MSE

PART 2— PART B- PAPER
Directions
(Minimum 750 words, 3 scholarly references, one must be the textbook)
Begin with an introduction to the assignment and then proceed with an in-depth, detailed discussion of the importance of using assessments in diagnosis and treatment planning for mental health clients in HUS professional settings.
Remember, you are using neutral, impersonal language here. You are not using the pronoun “I” in this component, ie, you are not indicating why you think assessments are important. You are explaining the reasons that assessments are important tools for HUS professionals and using evidence from your references to support the reasons.
Next, explain the merits, in particular, of conducting a MSE. Include the value of completing a narrative MSE.
Next, provide three reasons you chose the particular MSE you located on the internet. Support your choice with scholarly evidence that your example provides significant and useful information HUS professionals need to gather and understand to appropriately assess the client’s mental status.
In this component of the paper you are allowed to use the pronoun “I” to explain your choice. However, this is the only component of the paper where using a personal pronoun is allowed.
Next, discuss the reasons that HUS professionals need to comprehensively assess clients in order to properly assist them and may use a variety of assessments in this process. (Please note: You are not allowed to use material from Aaron Beck website to support your information. You must use a scholarly reference(s).)
In the final component of the paper, provide a detailed explanation of the reasons the MSE/Mental Status Checklist and other assessments are valuable tools but only provide some of the important components of a comprehensive assessment.
Include a detailed discussion of additional important and necessary information that needs to be collected in order to complete a comprehensive assessment of a client so that a reasoned and supported plan of action can be determined. Specifically discuss the diagnosis used in your case study and elaborate on other information that is needed to properly assess a client with this disorder.
The paper must be formatted using APA 6th ed. guidelines, including title page, running head, abstract, introduction, in-text citations, scholarly references, etc.
Under NO circumstances can websites, blogs, Wikipedia, dictionaries, .edu, or .org sites, etc. be used as references in the paper. You must use the course textbook and other scholarly published books; or scholarly, peer-reviewed articles.
Be fully advised: Students who use websites, blogs, Wikipedia, dictionaries or any other non-scholarly references in the paper component of this assignment will earn a ZERO on this assignment.
