Explanation:

Cost Data and Calculations:

Budgeted number of meals to serve = 3,320

Groceries = $4.00 per meal = $13,280 ($4 * 3,320)

Kitchen operations, $4,620 per month plus $1.75 per meal =

$4,620 + ($1.75 * 3,320) = 10,430

Administrative expenses, $3,820 per month plus $0.60 per  meal =

$3,820 + ($0.60 * 3,320) = $5,812

Fundraising expenses, $1,720 per month
