• The most extensive calculation is the cost of employees. Their salary/wage and benefit estimated cost is determined for the 2019 calendar year by taking a portion of their 2018-2019 cost, coupled with a portion of the employee’s 2019-2020 cost. Dr. Hanna looks at the following cost to determine a budgeted amount.
