I would not state that the manager will spend all $60,000, in total.
It depends on how many printers he (or she) will buy.

The total cost, at $2000 for each computer and $1600 for each printer, is $60,000:
The slope is -4/5. It means that the number of computers that can be bought decreases by 4/5 for each additional printer bought.
Note that the numbers of computers and printers bought must be whole numbers, so if the total spent must be exactly $60,000, there are only a small number of possible combinations of computers and printers that can be purchased.
