I currently just make cakes and treats on the side for friends and family and their various events and just did things on a donation basis just because I enjoyed doing them.  I'm also taking some college classes and one of them they had us come up with a venture and are having us simulate through what it'd be like to set it up. So I figured this would be interesting but none of the small business confectioneries around here seem to be all that friendly in discussing anything about their financial records which I can understand but I do need to know some of this for my assignment.  Any input is helpful since I've most this filled out but I'm curious how far off my numbers are for a business based in Michigan.

Keep in mind this is to be run from a storefront and not from a household.
Thank you.
