To determine how the total employment compensation changes, we need to account for the given increases and decreases.

1. Gross Pay Increase: There is a gross pay increase of \[tex]$500. 2. Benefits Increase: Total employee benefits increase by \$[/tex]200.
3. Expenses Decrease: Total job expenses decrease by \[tex]$300. To find the net change in total employment compensation, we need to add the increases and subtract the decreases. Here are the steps: 1. Add the increase in gross pay (\$[/tex]500) to the increase in benefits (\[tex]$200): \[ \$[/tex]500 + \[tex]$200 = \$[/tex]700
\]

2. Subtract the decrease in expenses (\[tex]$300) from the previously calculated sum (\$[/tex]700):
[tex]\[ \$700 - \$300 = \$400 \][/tex]

So, the total employment compensation increases by \[tex]$400. The correct answer is: a. increases by \$[/tex]400
