The table illustrates projected spendings on three new projects over five years , while the pie charts compare how the money is split.
Overall, the spending on the central park is set to increase steadily, while the funding for the public school will decrease drastically. In all three cases, the salaries and construction costs will account for the majority of expenditure.
Looking at the table, the Central Park and Library’s fundings are planned to increase, where they are projected to rise by 1 million and 0.2 million respectively. By contrast, the spendings on Public school are planned to fall sharply by 6 million, from 12 million, while the Library’s funding increased only slightly, from 2 million to 2,2 million, with minor fluctuations in between. However, the funding for the Public school remains the largest across three projects in the fifth year.
The expenses on salaries and construction in Central Park, Library and Public School are projected to take up from 65%, four fifth and 74% respectively, which is almost two third and even more of overall spendings. The distribution of salaries remains the highest among three projects. Transportation is expected to get the highest distribution among the least dominant spheres in Central Park, one fourth of the overall fund. Furthermore, it is equal to expenditures on construction for the same project, which is bigger than expenses distributed for Transportation, Insurance, and Other in the Library by a mere 5% and only 1% lower than the same combined categories in the Public School. The spending on Insurance and “Other” is planned with least differences across three projects.
