The Five-Zone Budget Allocation

Directions: Read the information given below and answer the questions that follow.

Five regional managers of a logistics company — A, B, C, D and E — are each allocated exactly one distinct operational zone and exactly one distinct annual budget.

The five zones are: North, South, East, West and Central.

The five budget allocations are: $\$10\text{M}$, $\$15\text{M}$, $\$20\text{M}$, $\$25\text{M}$ and $\$30\text{M}$.

The allocations are made based on the following conditions:

1. Manager C is allocated a budget that is exactly $\$10\text{M}$ more than the budget of the manager who is allocated the South zone.
2. The manager allocated the East zone receives the highest possible budget.
3. Manager A is not allocated the Central zone and does not receive the lowest budget.
4. Manager E receives a budget of $\$20\text{M}$ and is not assigned to the North or South zones.
5. Manager D's budget is $\$5\text{M}$ less than Manager B's budget.
6. The budget for the Central zone is strictly greater than the budget for the North zone, but strictly less than the budget for the West zone.
