Answer :

To solve this problem, we need to carefully consider the details regarding when employees quit and the associated losses based on the given conditions.

1. Identify the loss per employee for quitting before 90 days:
- The loss per employee who quits before 90 days is [tex]$1,575. 2. Count the number of employees quitting before 90 days: - One employee quits before 30 days, specifically on Day 5. - One employee quits on Day 41, which is also before 90 days. Therefore, the total number of employees quitting before 90 days is: \[ 1 \text{ (Day 5)} + 1 \text{ (Day 41)} = 2 \text{ employees} \] 3. Calculate the total loss for employees quitting before 90 days: - Since each employee quitting before 90 days incurs a loss of $[/tex]1,575, the total loss for these 2 employees is:
[tex]\[ 2 \text{ employees} \times \$1,575 \text{ per employee} = \$3,150 \][/tex]

4. Count the number of employees quitting after 90 days:
- One employee quits on Day 100, which is after the 90-day mark.

Employees quitting after 90 days are not considered in calculating the financial loss, according to the problem.

5. Determine the total loss:
- Since the losses for employees quitting after 90 days are not included, the total loss is solely the loss from those quitting before 90 days, which we've already calculated as \[tex]$3,150. Finally, the total amount of nominal loss for Company B due to employees quitting before 90 days is: \[ \boxed{\$[/tex]3,150}
\]

Given the multiple-choice options provided, none of them match our calculated total of \[tex]$3,150. Therefore, based on the provided options and detailed calculations, it seems there might be a discrepancy between the problem and the provided choices. However, based on the calculations, the correct answer is indeed \$[/tex]3,150.
