Elementary ‐ The Office ‐ Out Of Control Spending (C0013) 

A: OK, so now the last point on our agenda. Jill, let’s 

go over the profit and loss statement. 

B: Great. Well, the main issue here, as you can see, 

is that our expenses are through the roof. 

A: Let’s see... These numbers are off the charts! 

What’s going on here! 

B: Well, um, sir, the company expenditures on entertainment and travel are out of control. Look at these bills for example. Just this month we’ve paid over twenty thousand dollars for hotel charges! 

A: OK, thank you. I’ll look into it. 

B: The list goes on and on. Here, this is a bill for five 

thousand dollars for spa treatments! 

A: Thank you; that will be all. I’ll take care of it. 

B: Look at this one sir, eight thousand dollars were spent in one night at a place called ”Wild Things”?! 

A: OK, I get it!! Thank you for your very thorough analysis!
