Well, all your expenses are based on the season thus far...and it's only April 22.

Your gate revenues and merchandising revenus will increase throughout the season but your media revenue is fixed.

Using basic #'s (we'll pretend that you are one month into the season to make the #'s work easier and project over 6 months)

Payroll= $99mil

Media revenus= $25mil
merchandising= 13.2 mil
gate revenue=$30mil

Total= 68mil

68mil (income) minus 99mil (expenses)= -31mil

Since my numbers don't line up because April 22 doesn't exactly equal 1 month, I'd say -34 million is about right.

Of course it is "projected", and if you can average a higher attendance through the course of the year (playoffs helps, as evidenced by the year before)...same goes with merchandise. Your projected balance should change regularly.

As for the trade, it looks like your just about at your budget of $100.9 million, which is why the owner won't let you bring on any more payroll.
