This site provides supplemental readings to students using the text Financing Education Systems , First Edition, by Bruce D. Baker, Preston C. Green, and Craig E. Richards.

Problem Set Data and Simulations

Note: All downloadable files are in Microsoft Excel format. Some files contain Macros. For simulations that include macros to run correctly, you must set your “macro security” to medium, and then, when opening the file, select the option of allowing the macros in the file to run. You will find the macro security setting under the “tools” menu, under “macro” and then “security.”

Also, you will find that for many of the simulations, if you click the link below for download, the simulation will open directly into your browser window (especially if using Internet Explorer). You will lose some options if you attempt to run the simulation this way. Instead, right click on each link below (PC Users) and choose to download to a location on your computer. Then open the file from that location. To view the supplemental materials, click the links below to open the Microsoft Excel files.

For ease, the problem set may be completed with the 20 district simulation used in the examples.
Chapter 5, pp. 116-118 chpt5sim.xls.xls

The calculation template must be used intact. Calculations will produce error messages if you attempt to copy and paste sections of the template into new worksheets. Calculations are linked across worksheets. An updated alternative may be provided soon.
Chapter 6, pp. 143 - 152 chpt6sim.xls.xls

This one contains important macros. Be sure to set macro security to medium and enable macros for full functionality.
