The table illustrates the amount of money spent on projects in the five years in American dollars in three different areas, with the pie chart demonstrating the proportion of fields expenditured in year 1.
Looking at the table, Southeast Asia has the highest money expensed in all years, with 30, 20, 40, 50, and 50, respectively, while West Africa is always the lowest figure. The former witnessed fluctuation from 20 to 40 in the first three years before increasing to 50 and remaining unchanged by the end of the period. The latter stood at 10.5 and this figure experiences a dramatic drop by 8 in year 3 but finishes at 3.5 in year 5.
Moreover, there is a significant decrease from 20 to 5 in Central America throughout the period. In year 1, the figure for Southeast Asia is three times that of West Africa; however, it increases to almost 10 times that by year 5.
As can be seen from the pie chart, in year 1, salaries account for half of total expenditure in year 1, followed by setup costs with one-third. Training and office expenses have the same proportions, at ten percent.
