Given the initial 2-quarter rolling budget for labour costs and the new labour regulation increasing minimum wage by $100 monthly for 3 employees, the updated rolling budget for Q2 would be $3,900. Follow these steps: Calculate the monthly increase in labour costs: $100/month * 3 employees = $300 per month. Calculate the quarterly increase in labour costs: $300/month * 3 months = $900 per quarter. Update the Q2 labour budget: $3,000 (original Q2 budget) + $900 = $3,900.
