Question

How much will it cost to train the entire company to use a recycling program if the training includes paper handouts? (Remember, the training will take one hour and a team of three people will take three hours each to create the training program.) With the current budget, is it possible to train the company and buy recycling carts if recycling pickup in your city is free? Assume the best choice for recycle carts in your area was $80 per cart.

Answer 1

Answer:

With the current budget of $1,000, it is possible to train the company and buy 3 recycling carts given that recycling pickup within the area is free

Explanation:

The office waste management budget that is not being spent = $1,000

The given expense parameters are;

The training cost per hour per employee = $12.00

The number of people in the entire company = 45

The cost of preparing the training material per hour = $20.00

The number of people to create the training material = 3 people

The time it will take each person in creating the training material = 3 hours

The cost of recycling cart = $80.00 per cart

The cost of paper handouts per employee = $0.05

The cost of materials include;

The total cost for the training = $12.00 × 45 = $540

The cost for the handout = $0.05 × 45 = $2.25

The cost of preparing the materials = $20.00 × 3 × 3 = $180.00

The total costs of the training = $540 + $4 + $180.00 = $724

The amount available to buy cart = $1,000 - $724 = $276

Therefore;

The amount available to buy cart = $276

The number of carts that can be bought = 276/80 = 3.45 carts

Therefore, we round down to get;

The number of carts that can be bought = 3 carts
