ABC Enterprises is a company in which employees must frequently travel for business meetings with clients inside their city limits. Currently, each employee is allotted 40 dollars each day to cover meals while on the road. They are reimbursed for gas and other expenses in a separate budget, so the 40 dollars is only for meals. Employees have complained that this amount is not enough, especially if they had several meetings per day, and HR wanted to investigate. A survey was given to get recommendations for a new daily meal allotment. Although not all responded, 49% of employess did.
