Question - Using your work to define MMWCs spending limit, the executive director prepared a request for bids and sent it to all of the food purveyors in the near Millbridge. The best bid came in at $.50 below the number that you have calculated as MMWC's break-even per person week. Using this bid and the information given in the preceding problem, the director wants you to prepare a budget for MMWC in a format that will allow her to monitor MMWC's performance on a quarterly basis for the coming year.
