Do you agree with the CFO$$s statement?$$

Snacks are a separate expense item for food service. Clients recovering from various types of addictions often experience cravings for sugar, caffeine, and junk food. However, simply eliminating snacks is not an option because, in some cases, cravings are attributed to the pharmaceuticals some clients must use.

Clients are given all day access to snacks and coffee. In the past, clients paid for their own snacks, but management at Turning Leaf stopped charging for snacks shortly after the state cut personal allowance funds by $7\%$ for those on public assistance.

Shelby$$s ears perked up when his chief financial officer $($CFO$)$ remarked, $$Their financial control systems are ridiculous. We must not only get in line with the budget, but also charge the patients $$0\mathrm{.}50$ per person per day for the snacks to offset the costs. My calculations show that we can reduce the snack expense by close to $$80,000.$
