For our office, we will be spending under $5000.

Our goal is to make our office ergonomically friendly.

The cost of this desk is $1959. The width of this desk is 142cm, the

height is 99 cm, and the depth is 248 cm.

The desk has a slide out keyboard. It will help us work in the ideal typing

position because the desk is 30” in height.

The position will help to decrease muscle fatigue.

It will lower the chances of Carpal Tunnel.

This desk will allow us to work in the correct posture to keep your health good.

The cost of this chair is $74.98. We are able to adjust the height, and we

are able to lock the chair in multiple positions.

This chair has a padded back, as well as bonded- leather armrests.

This will make us more comfortable!

It will help our back because of the padding.

Apple iMac 27" 3rd Gen Intel Core i5 3.2GHz Computer

The cost is $2000

This iMac comes with a wireless keyboard and a mouse so that you can adjust the positioning of your body.

We won’t have to worry about cords, as there are none for the keyboard and mouse.

It has special features and coating that helps reduce reflection by 75%, so your eyes will have less reflection and sharp graphics and visuals.

It is the newest one of all of the iMacs.

We are going to purchase a $108 desk lamp.

The height of this lamp is 21”, meaning that it isn’t too tall.

The lamp has a thin, flat, base. It won’t take up too much space, and

our desk is really big.

PHONE The phone costs $40.00 which is good

for our $5000.00 budget.

We bought it at Canadian Tire, online.

This phone has one line, therefore it will only be used for our business.

This phone comes with speakerphone and Caller-ID. The large buttons will be good for our eyesight.

In our home office, we will have a separate phone line.

The phone line will not be connected to the home phone line, but will be one dedicated to business only.

This is ergonomically friendly because it will make our business look efficient.

It is better to have a separate phone line.

This way, children or other family member will not answer the calls.

If you are running a business, you would want people to think that it’s real.

By having one phone line, customers may get the idea that you business isn’t real.

LIGHTING For our home office, we have decided

to brighten the lights. This will not hurt our eyes, but make it

better for us to see. We will also paint the wall a light green

colour because it isn’t too bright, but it will enhance the room’s lighting.

It is better to have a lighter wall colour than a darker one because this will make the room more luminous.

This is ergonomically correct.

Our office is situated where we can get little of the sun’s light.

We will need to set up overhead lights that fill most of the area to make it better for our eyes.

Since there is no direct sunlight, having desk lamps will enhance the amount of light.

TIME We will hang a clock on the wall.

This is ergonomically friendly because when we’re at home, we tend to forget the time.

It is important to know the time, therefore you can get the 8 hours of rest between shifts.

Our lighting will also ensure that we will not strain our eyes by looking at the clock.

TOTAL PURCHASE We were given $5,000 to spend.

Of that money, we spent $4,181.98

We are left with $818.02.
