OVERVIEWThe purpose of the Capstone Project is to demonstrate the

proponents’ competence in investigating a research topic and

reporting the findings with full documentation, and complete

tabular presentation in a manner that can be understood by both

an individual knowledgeable in the topic, and an individual

whose advanced training is in another discipline.

Modern life offers a lot of option of services and goods for

consumers. Thus, compared to a decade ago, it can be seen that

people’s epenses are dramatically increasing day by day. !s

such, the task of keeping track of one’s ependitures has

become essential in setting up a proper budget for days to

come.

1.1.1 Introduction

#or many developing countries, an !ndroid phone is

somebody’s first eposure to the &nternet and the outside world.

!ccording to tetually.org, a blog aggregator focusing on tet

messaging and cell phone usage around the world, tracking the

latest news and social impact of these new technologies.-

%martphones primarily !ndroid/ and regular cellphones are

being used to improve agriculture, finance, emergency services,and other areas in developing nations across the globe.

The portability, relatively low0power usage, and wireless

connectivity have allowed this technology to penetrate areas

where people couldn’t even dream of using a computer or

connecting to the outside world.

1ith the help of this new technology, the proponents would be

creating an application that can alleviate the daily nuisance of

taking down one’s daily epenses, and budgeting a person’s

money just with the tap of his2her fingers.

1.1.2 Background of the Study

&n today’s generation, a smartphone is considered to be one ofthe necessities for everyday living. &ts built0in communication

features continue to be an essential re3uirement in navigating

the digital age, where more and more people become more

connected as the years pass. 1ith this, a mobile application is a

software program developed specifically for use on small,

wireless computing devices, such as smartphones and tablets,

rather than desktop or laptop computers. %martphones can run

different kinds of application depending on what the user needs

!ccording to an article of Philstar , #ilipino users are using the

smartphone as a replacement for their computers because of its

mobile nature. !lso, not just for its telecommunication features,

these smartphones allow their users the benefit of accessible

internet and beneficial applications, which is sometimes dubbed

as internet0on0the0go- Philippine %tar, 4567/. !ccording to

Rappler , the Philippines is now considered the fastest0growing

market for smartphones in %outheast !sia, with a staggering

7489 increase in smartphone sales in 4564. !bout :;9 ofMetro Manila respondents surveyed are taking photos or videos

with their smartphones,

!s of =une 456;, over 6.8 million applications are now

available in the !ndroid Play %tore alone, while !pple’s !pp

%tore remained the second largest virtual store with 6.; million

applications catalog %tatista, 456;/. Many of the budgeting

applications available in these virtual stores do not meet the

need of an individual.

!ccording to $avid >ing, having a budget really helps you

stay disciplined to organi?e your finances, which is the first step

of knowing your overall financial health. The more time you

spend thinking about your money, the more focus you are in

building your wealth.- >ing, 455@/.

1.! Pr%ose and &escr'%t'on

This Capstone Project created an application where the users

can track the inflow and outflow of money on hand and on

bank, which also includes debit or credit. This application can

help the user in planning their budget within the desired span of

time.

&t can help them in monitoring their money in all aspects. This

application can help users in planning how much budget to

allocate in a certain category of epenses. The purpose of this

application is to help the users in organi?ing their real0time cashflow. &t can also help the user to budget their money properly

based on the money input and time frame.

1.( Ob"ect')es o* the +tdy1.1.3 General Obecti!e

• To create a budget monitoring application.

1.1." Specific Obecti!es&n order to achieve the general objective, the following

objectives must be met.

• To provide the user a great 'ser &nterface and 'ser

(perience.

• To help the user achieve his or her savings goal.

• To help the user to track daily spending.

• To help the user to manage debts.

• To help the family to track epenses.

1., +co%e and -'m'tat'onThe coverage of this study focused on the budget aspect of the

user. "udget Monitoring !pplication is running through the

android operating system. The application is uploaded to the

official application store of the !ndroid *perating %ystem. The

application is open for everyone who is interested on the

application.

#or the testing part, the proponents selected 6; students from

the #inancial Management course of !damson 'niversity.

1hile for the #amily Module, the proponent selected ; of the

&TAM $epartment faculty member.

The application ehibits the following features)

• Tracking of assets2money

• !llocation of (penditures

• %etting the $esired %avings !mount

• $ebt Management

• Beneration of eports

!s for the limitation, the application is a stand0alone app after

the user downloaded it in the Play %tore. &t re3uires no networkor internet connection to run. This application supports only

Philippine Currency.

!ccording to evesencio, shopping can act as a stress releaseand this is a real problem. &n serious cases, binge shopping is

called compulsive buying disorder. The first step is to create a

spending log, this will allow you to see what you spend and

also the places where you spend the most and it will track

you’re spending. %he also added that if shopping is a fun

activity for you, limit yourself to one day a month. Make list of

the things you actually need at the store and stick to them. Euit

month. Compulsive buying disorder is a real problem and can

lead to some serious issues both financially. evesencio, 4567/

This article relates to the researchers study because the

researchers had developed an application that can help them

track their epenses and aside from that, save money and

manipulate them also.

3ay #ast'llo4 5ow I track my e$%enses and manage my

money

!ccording to Castillo, other epenses that are paid through a

credit card, online banking, and through checks are easier to

track because these transactions are automatically

recorded and these are all written on the statement that arrives

every month. Fowever, he still does his best to record all of

those daily simply because he wants to make sure that the

monthly statements are accurate. Fe uses pocket notebook and

a pocket ecel and then calculates rough estimates of his

epenses. Castillio, 456;/

The researchers study can notify the user on when are be the

deadlines or just simply notifies them about their epenses.

%tatic data will be available already so that the user will nothave the problem on estimating their epenses for detailed

epenses will be calculated already.

3oy 6yeno4 5ow to Bdget 7or 0onthly Income

!ccording to 'yeno, living without a budget is like driving to a

destination in an unfamiliar place 00 itGs easy to get sidetracked,

lost and thrown off course all together. Creating a budget will

help you stay on course each month, and the destination is your

financial freedom. Calculate how much money you make per

month after taes. Track your epenses for a week. 1rite down

everything you spend money on 00 gas, movie tickets, candy,

clothing 00 everythingH +ist all recurring bills, including credit

card, phone and loan payments, as well as utilities and

rent2mortgage. %pend less, your budget will change as your life

changes, so continue to monitor you’re spending and saving

each month. 'yeno, 456;/

The researchers developed an application in which the user can

be able to manage his or her income0keeping track on where

and when did his or her money go. "udgeting is important

nowadays because most of the people cannot save an income

for the reason that they do not know how to start because they

do not have any idea about it.

&a)'d 8'ng4 Why We 8eed to +tart Bdget Track'ng 8ow

!ccording to >ing, having a budget really helps you stay

disciplined to organi?e your finances, which is the first step of

knowing your overall financial health. The more time you

spend thinking about your money, the more focus you are in

building your wealth. +ooking through your finances at regular

intervals will allow you to spot trends and see areas that can be

improved way before it becomes a problem. Money is always a

hard subject to discuss. &f the whole family is involved in

budget making and epense tracking, it makes discussions

much easier. &n theory, we all want to reduce our spending and

make more money but it is impossible to know how we are

doing without actually keeping track of your progress. "udget

tracking to measure progress is not just a benefit but a

re3uirement. >ing, 455@/

This article eplains why is it important for you to track or

budget your money. Faving a budget or an idea on how to

manipulate your everyday life base on epenses etc., it is foryou to see your progress if you are achieving your goal. This

article eplains how essential the research is in our time.

5andl'ng o)erhead #osts

!ccording to %M(.com.ph, *verhead involves epenses that do

not go directly into the production of your goods and services

but which are nevertheless essential for your business to

continue operations particularly family0owned ones, one of the

biggest causes of unreliability in assessing the profitability of

the business is the lack of segregation of costs between

household epenses and business epenses. +earn to separate

your personal from the business. %M( Toolkit Philippines

456;/

The researchers had developed an application that an individual

can use or a group of people like a family in which epenses

will be easily determined. *verhead costs are available so it is

essential to keep track on it and manage it effectively.

!ccording to *bi, with increasing cases of non0implementation

of both the national and states’ budget, as well as diversion of

funds, the (conomic and #inancial Crimes Commission (#CC

budget implementation, corruption will continue to increase.

!ccording to the (#CC, The fight against corruption in public

life would ac3uire greater traction only if and when citi?ens

show more interest in monitoring budget implementation.- This

The P'>CF on %aturday, !nthony eplained that operation of

the state2local government joint accounts had made it difficult

for the rural areas to grow based on the funds accruing the

councils. Fe pointed out that most governors in the >iger $elta

region deliberately appoint stooges to man the various councils

in order to continue to control the allocations meant for the

development of the local areas. !kasike, 456iger delta budget

monitoring group needs to monitor the etent to which budgetestimates match actual results. This helps ensure financial

control and identify where change is re3uired. Monitoring

budget accuracy is the responsibility of the local government.

Fe warned that the more funds the #ederal Bovernment took

from the nation’s fund, the more attractive the center would

become.

The researchers may relate into this study since there is a

chance that college students may use the proposed system, it is

essential for them to also monitor their spending.

!ccording to %tein, the computer makes it possible to monitor

budgets in more detail, with greater accuracy, in more

understandable ways and most of all, in less time. The budget

monitoring process is the single most important aspect of fiscal

success. 1hile not impossible to do manually, budget

monitoring can be a long and tedious process. The computer

has not only changed this process, but more in detail. To

develop a computeri?ed budget monitoring system, one must

first determine eactly what is to be monitored, how this is to

be accomplished, and how results are to be used. %tein, 4567/

This article discusses the importance of budget monitoring in

fiscal management, describes ways in which computeri?ed

budget monitoring increases accuracy, efficiency, and

fleibility. "udget monitoring is one of the valuable assets in

business management and one of the strengths of large

companies to prosper with higher sustainability in the market

industry where they belong.

!ccording to 1aitathu, the rating tool was launched alongside

the Citi?ens !lternative "udget developed by the &nstitute of

(conomic !ffairs. The tools will be used to monitor service

delivery, infrastructure development and effective budget

implementation in order to promote budget transparency andaccountability. The County "udget Monitoring tool focuses on

si devolved areas such as budget transparency in terms of

citi?en participation, revenue streams and trade regulation.

*ther areas include health, focusing on ambulances and

maternal care, education focusing on (arly Childhood

$evelopment and polytechnics, agriculture and transport.

The tool was developed through an elaborate process involving

the private sector, civil society, government, religious and other

oversight authorities. The main purpose of some kind of

budget0monitoring system is to evaluate actual results against

approved budgets to guide current and future decision0making

and to provide managers with relevant information so that they

are more accountable for performance.

!ccording to Manchanda, the application allows users to track

their epenses daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly in terms of

summary, bar graphs, and pie charts. This mobile application is

a full detailed epense tracker tool that will not only help users

keep a check on their epenses, but also cut down the

unre3uired epenses, and thus will help provide a responsible

lifestyle Manchanda, 4567/.

The purpose (pense Tracker Mobile !pplication is to make

management control systems are used) as a diagnostic o

interactive control system. The analy?ed decision making

structures are centrali?ed or decentrali?ed decision making

structures. The selected management control systems for this

study are traditional budgeting and rolling forecasting !lto

4567/.

This study is made by constructive research approach and its

practical contribution lies in the novelty of this study, budgeting

and forecasting application. The practical aim is that the

developed application would direct the customer organi?ations

of Faahtela F +td to use the management control system

which is the most effective in their organi?ational contet as

well as to improve the diagnostic and2or interactive use of the

selected method thus supporting better decision making.

%$+C stands for software development lifecycle. ! software

development lifecycle is essentially a series of steps, or phases,

that provide a model for the development and lifecycle

used in the development of the proposed system is !gile

Methodology.

!ccording to !llan Noch, !gile projects involve the customer

regularly, not just at the beginning for re3uirements/ and theend for acceptance/. This customer involvement mitigates one

of the most consistent problems on software projects) 1hat

they will accept at the end of the project differs from what they

told us at the beginning. 1hile good "usiness !nalysis or

e3uirements !nalysis/ practices can help with this risk, they

can only take us so far. There is no substitute for demonstrating

to the customer what we are building and getting their feedback

regularly throughout the project. This is precisely what !gile

ReA'rements 0 in systems engineering and software

engineering, encompasses those tasks that go into determiningthe needs or conditions to meet for a new or altered product or

project, taking account of the possibly conflicting re3uirements

of the various stakeholders, analy?ing, documenting, validating

and managing software or system re3uirements.

/rch'tectre and &es'gn 0 is the process by which an agent

creates a specification of a software artifact, intended to

accomplish goals, using a set of primitive components and

subject to constraints. %oftware design may refer to either Oall

the activities involved in conceptuali?ing, framing,

implementing, commissioning, and ultimately modifying

comple systemsO.

&e)elo%ment 0 is a software engineering discipline. &t is the

detailed creation of working meaningful software through acombination of coding, verification, unit testing, integration

testing, and debugging. &t is linked to all the other software

engineering disciplines, most strongly to software design and

software testing. %oftware design usually involves problem

solving and planning a software solution. This includes both

low0level component and algorithm design and high0level,

architecture design.

Test and 9eedback ; is an investigation conducted to provide

stakeholders with information about the 3uality of the product

or service under test. %oftware testing can also provide an

objective, independent view of the software to allow the

business to appreciate and understand the risks of software

implementation. Test techni3ues include the process of

eecuting a program or application with the intent of finding

software bugs errors or other defects/. !s the number of

possible tests for even simple software components is

practically infinite, all software testing uses some strategy to

select tests that are feasible for the available time and resources

!s a result, software testing typically but not eclusively/

attempts to eecute a program or application with the intent of

finding software bugs errors or other defects/. The job of

testing is an iterative process as when one bug is fied, it can

illuminate other, deeper bugs, or can even create new ones.

!ccording to Takahashi, !gile $evelopment Methodologies are

iterative and encourage to continuously developing re3uired

solutions. &nstead of re3uiring a stakeholder sign0off at the end

of each phase, which re3uires all the re3uirements to be

completed in the specific phase, an approval from stakeholders

for each re3uirement is more appropriate to push the piece to a

net phase to support the dynamic nature of the !gile$evelopment. Takahashi, 4567/ The !gile Methodology is

shown in #igure 6.

Dant'tat')e 0ethods

Euantitative methods emphasi?e on objective measurements

and numerical analysis of data collected through polls,

3uestionnaires or surveys. Euantitative research focuses on

gathering numerical data and generali?ing it across groups of

people.

This type of research methods re3uires 3uantifiable data

involving numerical and statistical eplanations. Euantitative

esearch is used to 3uantify the problem by way of

generating numerical data or data that can be transformed into

useable statistics. &t is used to 3uantify attitudes, opinions,

behaviors, and other defined variables D and generali?e results

from a larger sample population. Euantitative esearch uses

measurable data to formulate facts and uncover patterns in

research. Euantitative data collection methods are much more

structured than Eualitative data collection methods.

Euantitative data collection methods include various forms of

surveys D online surveys, paper surveys, mobile surveys andkiosk surveys, face0to0face interviews, telephone interviews,

longitudinal studies, website interceptors, online polls, and

systematic observations.

+r)ey Research 0ethod

The proponents’ used the %urvey esearch Method.

!ccording to 'demy, %urvey research uses interviews,

3uestionnaires, and sampling polls to get a sense of behavior

with intense precision. &t allows researchers to judge behavior

and then present the findings in an accurate way. This is

usually epressed in a percentage. %urvey research can be

conducted around one group specifically or used to compare

several groups. 1hen conducting survey research it is

important that the people 3uestioned are sampled at random.This allows for more accurate findings across a greater

spectrum of respondents Nla?ema, 456;/.

Pr%os')e +am%l'ng

The proponents’ used the Purposive %ampling to pick the

respondent for 3uestionnaires. !ccording to Nosch, purposive

sampling represents a group of different non0probability

sampling techni3ues. !lso known as judgmental, selective or

subjective sampling, purposive sampling relies on the

judgement of the researcher when it comes to selecting the

units e.g., people, cases2organisations, events, pieces of data/

that are to be studied. 'sually, the sample being investigated

is 3uite small, especially when compared with probabilitysampling techni3ues. Nosch, 456
