costs in money and labor required to maintain a small office. It was found that every hour an office is open requires $12 to pay the clerical staff, and 12 minutes of labor devoted to paperwork (tallying timesheets, filling out grievance forms, etc.). Also, every $100 in the budget requires 30 minutes of paperwork (expenditure authorization forms, miscellaneous red tape), and 30% of the budget is wasted on office supplies, coffee, donuts, and embezzlement.

The Efficiency Office also reported on the money and time demands of certain types of offices. A local legal aid office needs 30 hours/week in surplus labor (after subtracting the overhead described above) and $1500/week in surplus budget (ditto). A local Environmental Protection office needs a surplus of 20 hours and $700 per week. A local Y2k office needs a surplus of 80 hours and $3000 per week.
Use Leontief theory and an inverse matrix to determine the money and time that must be scheduled for the above 3 kinds of office to meet their needs.

This sounds like a homework question. You work this one out then you can do the same for a living.
