ANSWERS: There was a format called Company Town where the company would virtually own and control the entire town including daily need item stores. Workers were lured with attractive wages and accommodation. But, the wages were paid in 'Scrips' which were company printed currency meant to be spent in the stores owned by the company owned and controlled stores inside the company town. This led to the employees getting dependent on employers and their personal freedom and space getting interfered by employers. This relation led to the term 'Wage Slavery'. This practice was continued in mining town till 1960s whereas the concept of company town ended in the 1920s.

The total operating income is

= $40,000 + $25,000 + ($5,000)

= $60,000
