Answer 1

Complete Question:

Baldwin's workforce complement (number of employees) will grow by 10% next year. Baldwin spends the same amount extra above the $1,000 recruiting base, which is $694 per employee. Complement/work force was 434 and New Hires were 67 for last year. What will they spend this year on recruiting this year?

Answer: $84,700

Explanation:

Total employees = 434 + 67 = 501

As mentioned in the question that Baldwin's workforce will increase by 10%.

Hence, existing employees x 110% = 501 x 110% = 551 (Ignore the decimal as employees cannot be in decimal) Increase of 50 employees

Baldwin will spend $694 + $1,000 = $1,694

Therefore, for 50 employees he would spend $1,694

Baldwin would spend a total of (50 x $1,694) = $ 84,700
