Let's analyze the total employment compensation for each company by considering the given components: Gross Pay, Paid insurance, Paid time off, and Job expenses. The total employment compensation is calculated as:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Compensation} = \text{Gross Pay} + \text{Paid insurance} + \text{Paid time off} - \text{Job expenses} \][/tex]
Here are the calculations for each company:
1. Company A:
- Gross Pay: \[tex]$37,600
- Paid insurance: \$[/tex]2,800
- Paid time off: \[tex]$3,100
- Job expenses: \$[/tex]1,200
- Total Compensation: [tex]\(37,600 + 2,800 + 3,100 - 1,200 = 42,300 \)[/tex]
2. Company B:
- Gross Pay: \[tex]$36,800
- Paid insurance: \$[/tex]2,400
- Paid time off: \[tex]$3,600
- Job expenses: \$[/tex]600
- Total Compensation: [tex]\(36,800 + 2,400 + 3,600 - 600 = 42,200 \)[/tex]
3. Company C:
- Gross Pay: \[tex]$38,100
- Paid insurance: \$[/tex]2,100
- Paid time off: \[tex]$2,900
- Job expenses: \$[/tex]300
- Total Compensation: [tex]\(38,100 + 2,100 + 2,900 - 300 = 42,800 \)[/tex]
4. Company D:
- Gross Pay: \[tex]$39,000
- Paid insurance: \$[/tex]1,800
- Paid time off: \[tex]$2,500
- Job expenses: \$[/tex]800
- Total Compensation: [tex]\(39,000 + 1,800 + 2,500 - 800 = 42,500 \)[/tex]
Now, comparing the total compensations:
- Company A: \[tex]$42,300
- Company B: \$[/tex]42,200
- Company C: \[tex]$42,800
- Company D: \$[/tex]42,500
Among these, the greatest total employment compensation is offered by Company C, which is \$42,800.
Therefore, the best answer is:
c. Company C
