Answer :

To determine which company offers the greatest total employment compensation, we need to calculate the sum of the gross pay, paid insurance, paid time off, and job expenses for each company respectively.

Let's take it step-by-step for each company.

### Company A
- Gross Pay: [tex]$41,600 - Paid Insurance: $[/tex]1,800
- Paid Time Off: [tex]$3,700 - Job Expenses: $[/tex]2,000

Total compensation for Company A:
[tex]\[ \$41,600 + \$1,800 + \$3,700 + \$2,000 = \$49,100 \][/tex]

### Company B
- Gross Pay: [tex]$40,800 - Paid Insurance: $[/tex]2,400
- Paid Time Off: [tex]$3,100 - Job Expenses: $[/tex]1,800

Total compensation for Company B:
[tex]\[ \$40,800 + \$2,400 + \$3,100 + \$1,800 = \$48,100 \][/tex]

### Company C
- Gross Pay: [tex]$41,300 - Paid Insurance: $[/tex]2,000
- Paid Time Off: [tex]$2,800 - Job Expenses: $[/tex]800

Total compensation for Company C:
[tex]\[ \$41,300 + \$2,000 + \$2,800 + \$800 = \$46,900 \][/tex]

### Company D
- Gross Pay: [tex]$42,000 - Paid Insurance: $[/tex]2,100
- Paid Time Off: [tex]$2,900 - Job Expenses: $[/tex]2,500

Total compensation for Company D:
[tex]\[ \$42,000 + \$2,100 + \$2,900 + \$2,500 = \$49,500 \][/tex]

Comparing all the total compensations, we have:
- Company A: \[tex]$49,100 - Company B: \$[/tex]48,100
- Company C: \[tex]$46,900 - Company D: \$[/tex]49,500

The highest total employment compensation is offered by Company D with \$49,500.

Therefore, the best answer is:
d. Company D
