Someone, please explain this, as I must be missing something. How can they only have had a $96,000 budget? With the number of guys in the picture, they would only be making $4,000 a piece. What am I missing?

Sounds like someone missed a zero.

Sounds like it’s the capital expenditures portion of their budget

Now that makes sense. I’m not too familiar with budgets.
