To determine which company offers the greatest total employment compensation, we need to calculate the total benefits for each company by summing the gross pay, insurance, paid time off, and job expenses (where applicable). We'll break this down step-by-step for each company.
Company A:
- Gross Pay: [tex]$38,200
- Insurance: $[/tex]3,500
- Paid Time Off: [tex]$4,100
- Job Expenses: Not listed
Total Compensation for Company A:
\[ 38,200 + 3,500 + 4,100 = 45,800 \]
Company B:
- Gross Pay: $[/tex]39,000
- Insurance: 20% of Gross Pay, which is [tex]\(0.2 \times 39,000 = 7,800\)[/tex]
- Paid Time Off: Not listed
- Job Expenses: [tex]$700
Total Compensation for Company B:
\[ 39,000 + 7,800 + 700 = 47,500 \]
Company C:
- Gross Pay: $[/tex]39,900
- Insurance: [tex]$3,200
- Paid Time Off: $[/tex]3,900
- Job Expenses: [tex]$1,000
Total Compensation for Company C:
\[ 39,900 + 3,200 + 3,900 + 1,000 = 48,000 \]
Company D:
- Gross Pay: $[/tex]39,400
- Insurance: 18% of Gross Pay, which is [tex]\(0.18 \times 39,400 = 7,092\)[/tex]
- Paid Time Off: Not listed
- Job Expenses: Not listed
Total Compensation for Company D:
[tex]\[ 39,400 + 7,092 = 46,492 \][/tex]
Now we compare the total compensation values for all companies:
- Company A: [tex]$45,800
- Company B: $[/tex]47,500
- Company C: [tex]$48,000
- Company D: $[/tex]46,492
Among these, Company C offers the greatest total employment compensation of $48,000.
Therefore, the answer is:
c. Company C
