    They are not benchmarking using absolute figures but for contract management and lab management the cost per $000 of contract value. Otherwise large universities with high absolute costs would look bad.

    So, for GU:

    Contract management = 14,430/185 = 78 (I think the answer drops 000 somewhere to get 78 rather than 0.078)

    Lab management = 41,810/185 = 226.

    Teaching costs will be benchmarked as cost per student, so

    26,993,000/28,394 = 951

    etc

    The answer shows the bases used to spread each cost.
