The table of expenditure is given in point of company's view. So the salary is also the expenditure to the company, in the case of employee the salary is a gain but for the company it expenditure only.

I was thinking that the salary should be removed from the calculation.

See the the question, total is given so we have to add the (salaries + fuel & transport + bonus + interest + taxes) in 1998 & 2002.

According to the solution, I think so initial year expenditure /final year expenditure *100.

Question is all about expense part only and income is included while calculating the same, Why? Nothing to do with the salary, bonus as the question is expense focussed.

I did not get this question in this question total Expenditure so the bonus is a part of the salary. An if we directly calculate the by taking the salary portion of both the year then also you would get the same answer 69%.

Isn't expenditure is supposed to be subtracted from the salary?
