Questions 98 through 100 refer to the following excerpt from a business presentation.
W: The chart at the bottom of page fifty-one breaks down our personnel expenses. The red area represents total salaries
and bonuses paid. As you can see, that accounts for just over half of personnel costs. The blue area represents in
house training costs as well as college tuition subsidies paid out under the " Learn While You Earn" program.
Please note that salaries for in house trainers have not been counted as training costs, as they are already
included in the salaries and bonuses category. Next, the green area represents payroll taxes and the yellow
represents payments into employee medical and dental insurance programs. You may notice that this year, for the
first time in company history, the amount being spent on medical and dental insurance programs exceeds that spent
on employee training.
