Actually, the math is not simple. Why are you assuming all 100 employees will donate $10? What if only 5 out of the 100 donate $10? In which case, the company donating $10 for every employee it has, regardless of whether they donated or not, will result in a higher amount.

Save the mock exasperation for elsewhere.

P.S. I agree with your 'Secondly,...' point.
