You have been tasked with computing baseline budget targets for the upcoming budget cycle. Using Table $12\mathrm{.}3$ as your starting point, make the following adjustments:

$($a$)$ All employees are expected to receive a $3\%$ cost$-$of$-$living increase in the next year.

$($b$)$ The fixed benefit rate will increase by $$12\mathrm{.}50$ per full$-$time equivalent $($FTE$)$ employee. There are $50$ FTEs.

$($c$)$ The variable benefit rate will increase by $1\mathrm{.}25\%$ for all employees in the next year

$.($d$)$ Budget baselines are not given out with cents, so round to the nearest dollar.

$3.$ What is the total computed baseline for this department?
