Employee Benefits

Question 10 • POP Financial Math 26/27

Brendon had total job benefits of $39,500 last year. He was required to wear a shirt with the company logo on it for work that he was responsible for buying. Brendon purchased 12 shirts for work during the year at a cost of $23.95 each. He was also required to attend a training at a cost to him of $135. What was Brendon’s total employment compensation last year?

Answer
A
$39,077.60
B
$39,212.60
C
$39,341.05
D
$39,922.40

Explanation

Brendon’s required work expenses total 12 × $23.95 = $287.40 for shirts, plus $135 for training, or $422.40 altogether. Subtracting these expenses from his $39,500 in job benefits gives $39,500 − $422.40 = $39,077.60. The correct choice is $39,077.60.
