Could you please share your thoughts on this question?
Thank you.
The Q is based on understanding what would these additional vouchers do?
the conclusions in the 5 choices do not include these 1995 expense voucher..
So what do these 1995 expense voucher do..
1) They will increase expenses..
2) These could include new members who had initially not given there vouchers and thus can result in increase of members..Lets see the choices-
A. The accounting department had only 15 employees and claimed expenses of at least $500.
the expenses are atleast, so any increase would still not affect the total expenses as we are speaking of ATLEAST..
However ONLY 15 employes may go wrong by addition of some new employee..B. The sales department had at least 25 employees and claimed expenses of at least $35,000.
the expenses are atleast, so any increase would still not affect the total expenses as we are speaking of ATLEAST..
Even employes are atleast 25, so increase of some new employee will not affect the conclusion of some new employee..C. The legal department had at least 2 employees and claimed no more than $3000 in expenses.
the expenses are NO MORE THAN $3000, so any increase will affect the total expenses as we are speaking of no more than..
However atleast usage in employee will not get affected by increase of new member..D. The public relations department had no more than 1 employee and claimed no more than $200 in expenses.
the expenses are NO MORE THAN $3000, so any increase will affect the total expenses as we are speaking of no more than..
usage of NO MORE THAN in employee will affected total..E. The production department had no more than 500 employees and claimed no more than $350 in expenses.
same as DOnly B does not get affected
