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
