Step-by-step solution
2 stepsHere's a verification of the estimated budget presented in the table.
The table provides an estimated budget for a pet census, with various items, their quantities, frequencies, unit costs, and total costs. The goal is to verify if the "Total cost (GH¢)" for each item and the "Grand Total" are calculated correctly based on the provided "Quantity", "Frequency", and "Unit cost (GH¢)".
Verify the Total Cost for each item.
The formula for Total Cost is: .
-
1. Petrol:
The table shows GH¢ 2100.00. This is correct.
-
2. Per diem:
The table shows GH¢ 1200.00. This is correct. (Note: The initial problem description mentions a "three (3)-day pet census", which aligns with the frequency of 3 used here. However, the table title states "4-day pet census".)
-
3. Local announcement:
The table shows GH¢ 90.00. This is correct. (Note: The initial problem description mentions "Local information centre announcement: 1", but the table uses a frequency of 3, consistent with a 3-day census.)
-
4. Stationery:
The table shows GH¢ 100.00. This is correct.
-
5. Tags:
The table shows GH¢ 6000.00. This is correct.
-
6. Miscellaneous:
The table shows GH¢ 500.00. This is correct. (Note: The initial problem description states "Miscellaneous = GH¢ 100.00/day". If the census is 3 or 4 days, the frequency should be 3 or 4, not 5. However, the calculation is correct based on the frequency of 5 provided in the table.)
-
Verify the Grand Total.
Sum all the calculated total costs:
The table shows a Grand Total of GH¢ 9990.00. This is correct.
All calculations within the provided table are consistent with the quantities, frequencies, and unit costs listed. While there are minor inconsistencies between the initial text description and some values in the table (e.g., 3-day vs. 4-day census, frequency for miscellaneous), the arithmetic presented in the table itself is accurate.
The estimated budget is:
