Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is:  $163,33 .

Explanation:

An optional deduction is the amount of money subtracted from employees’ paychecks -under their request, to cover payments such as health insurance. These deductions are not mandatory but workers can choose to count with them so they can have more benefits.

In the example:

• Cost of the health insurance per year: $4900

• Eli’s employer coverage per year: 60%

• Eli’s obligation per year: 100% - 60% = 40%

Thus,

• Eli’s obligation per year = $4900 x 40%

• Eli’s obligation per year = $1960

Then:

• Eli’s obligation per month = $1960 / 12

• Eli’s obligation per month = $163,33
