To determine which company offers the greatest total employment compensation, we will calculate the total compensation package for each company by adding the gross pay, insurance, paid time off, and any job expenses provided by each company. Here's a step-by-step calculation for each company:
### Company A
1. Gross Pay: \[tex]$38,200
2. Insurance: \$[/tex]3,500
3. Paid Time Off: \[tex]$4,100
4. Job Expenses: \$[/tex]0 (no expenses mentioned)
Total Compensation for Company A:
[tex]\[ \$38,200 + \$3,500 + \$4,100 + \$0 = \$45,800 \][/tex]
### Company B
1. Gross Pay: \[tex]$39,000
2. Insurance: 20% of \$[/tex]39,000 = [tex]\(0.2 \times 39,000 = \$7,800\)[/tex]
3. Paid Time Off: \[tex]$0 (not specified)
4. Job Expenses: \$[/tex]700
Total Compensation for Company B:
[tex]\[ \$39,000 + \$7,800 + \$0 + \$700 = \$47,500 \][/tex]
### Company C
1. Gross Pay: \[tex]$39,900
2. Insurance: \$[/tex]3,200
3. Paid Time Off: \[tex]$3,900
4. Job Expenses: \$[/tex]1,000
Total Compensation for Company C:
[tex]\[ \$39,900 + \$3,200 + \$3,900 + \$1,000 = \$48,000 \][/tex]
### Company D
1. Gross Pay: \[tex]$39,400
2. Insurance: 18% of \$[/tex]39,400 = [tex]\(0.18 \times 39,400 = \$7,092\)[/tex]
3. Paid Time Off: \[tex]$0 (not specified)
4. Job Expenses: \$[/tex]0 (no expenses mentioned)
Total Compensation for Company D:
[tex]\[ \$39,400 + \$7,092 + \$0 + \$0 = \$46,492 \][/tex]
### Comparison and Conclusion
Comparing the total employment compensations:
- Company A: \[tex]$45,800
- Company B: \$[/tex]47,500
- Company C: \[tex]$48,000
- Company D: \$[/tex]46,492
The company offering the greatest total employment compensation is Company C with \$48,000.
