Question

City mission is a not-for-profit organization that provides hot meals, living quarters, and showers for homeless people. based on their yearly budget, they expect to spend $450,000 on food expenses, $350,000 on housing expenses, $280,000 on staff salaries, $90,000 on utilities, and $118,000 on other expenses. how much will city mission need to raise in donations?

a.more than $1,562,000

b.less than $1,225,000

c.at least $1,253,000

d.at least $1,288,000

Answer 1

Adding all the expenses together ie $450,000+$350,000+$280,000+$90,000+$118,000=$1,288,000 total expenses that they will need to raise (at least) in donations. This is a large sum of money to raise only from donations and by rights a level or various levels of government should help pay for these expenses as no one should go homeless either that or provide low cost homes for the homeless.
