This is correct. Icarus says "Several departments...did not spend all of the money they were allocated at last year's budget approval meeting." To "use up" means to consume completely, for example: I have used up all my money and now I cannot buy any chocolate. To "allocate (money)" is to put aside money for a particular purpose, for example: Each department was allocated funds for new projects.
This is incorrect. Icarus makes no mention of writing budget proposals for each department. Usually, it is the departments themselves that write proposals for their own budget. Icarus suggests that the board should make a decision regarding the departmental budgets "after reading their respective budget proposals".
This is incorrect. Although Icarus does address the budget of the R&D department, he does not at any point propose to cut (or reduce or eliminate) its budget.
This is correct. Icarus mentions two departments which overspent (spent more than were supposed to), however he says that "in both cases, this is not terribly, uh, serious, because our earnings more than compensate for these expenses." This means that the Delavigne Corporation is making more money than it is spending and consequently, Icarus is not concerned with these expenses.
Esercizio 2
Icarus talks in detail about the Marketing and Public Relations department.

From the list below, select the TRUE statements about this department. There may be more than one correct answer!

Icarus talks in detail about the Marketing and Public Relations department.

From the list below, select the TRUE statements about this department. There may be more than one correct answer!
This is incorrect. Icarus does not make any statement about the importance of the Marketing department within the Delavigne Corporation.
This is correct. Icarus mentions that the Marketing department has "a flexible budget which accounts for the unpredictable expenses of publicity campaigns, endorsements and travel". "Unpredictable" refers to something that cannot be foreseen or anticipated, so Icarus is saying that the budget for the advertising campaigns of the marketing department are difficult to account for or anticipate.
This is an incorrect statement. Icarus says that the department's "outlay is not entirely unexpected". This means that Icarus had probably predicted that the Marketing department could spend more than its budget. "Outlay" means expenditure, for example: My weekly outlay on food is 150 euros.
This is correct. Icarus mentions two departments which "overspent", one of which was the Marketing and PR (Public Relations) department. To "overspend" means to spend excessively or to spend more than one can afford. In this context, Icarus is expressing that the Marketing department spent more than the budget they were allotted.
