Explanation:

For the first question: The report is focused on the Sculpture Studio's 2014 supply budget, so its main sections will relate to the Sculpture Studio's expense categories. Sculpture Studio is the core subject, and Woods is one of its specific expense types. Pottery Studio/Glazes belong to other studios, and "Art" is too broad.
For the second question: The report's title specifies it is the 2014 Supply Budget for the Sculpture Studio, so it will include that studio's overall budget and its specific line items like plastics. Budgets for other studios or the total company are outside the report's scope.
For the third question: Since the report covers the Sculpture Studio's budget and its sub-categories (plastics, metals, coatings), we can calculate differences between its sub-category budgets and the fraction of the studio's budget for a sub-category. Data for other studios or the total company is not included, so those calculations are not possible.

Answer:

• Sculpture Studio
• Woods

Second Question:

• The supply budget for the Sculpture Studio in 2014

Third Question:
