Please provide explanation, steps and solution to question below
Thank you!Bridget Youhzi works for a large firm. Her alma mater has asked her to make a presentation
to the upcoming accounting honor society's annual scholarship dinner. Her firm supports the
presentation because it hopes to recruit more excellent employees like Bridget. The
university is 196 miles from her office. In order to get to the dinner by 5:00 p.m., she will
need to leave work at 1:00 p.m. She can drive her personal car and be reimbursed $0.50 per
mile. The dinner ends at 9:00 p.m. If she drives, she will be spending the night at a student-
run inn and conference center across the street from campus that charges $101 per night.
Instead of driving, she could catch a 3:00 p.m. flight that has a round-trip fare of $300 and
returns that same evening, thus not needing a hotel for the night. However, flying would
require her to rent a car for $39 per day and pay an airport parking fee of $25 for the day.
The company pays a per diem of $35 for incidentals if the employee spends at least six hours
out of town. The per diem would be for one 24-hour period for either flying or driving. As a
manager, Bridget is responsible for recruiting within a budget and wants to determine which
is more economical.
NOTE: Enter amounts rounded to two decimals (e.g.,108.80 or 90.00).
