Application: Comparing Levels of Government
Federal, state, and local governments require different funding (revenue) and spend different amounts (expenditures) to deliver programs and services. Government budgets are greatly affected by the level at which the organization is operating.
In this Assignment, you compare expenditures and revenues among the federal, state, and local governments. Then, you explain how expenditures and revenues relate to the functions of each level.

Think about how the functions of government organizations depend on individualized finance and budgeting plans.
