The monetary resources required for implementing the organizational plans are called the ________.

• A. Budget
• B. Revenue
• C. Capital
• D. Expenditure

Answer: (A)

Budget represents the monetary resources needed to implement organizational plans. It translates strategic goals into a dollar plan, showing how much money will be available and how it will be allocated across activities and time. This budgeting process ensures the organization has the funds required to carry out its programs and provides a basis for monitoring performance by comparing actual results to the plan. Revenue is the inflow of funds, not the resources required; capital refers to long-term assets or major investments; expenditure is the actual spending that occurs, not the planned resources. So the budget is the financial roadmap for turning plans into action.
