Answer 1

Answer:

a. The total employment compensations for the two employees are the same

Explanation:

Employee compensation refers to payment made to employees by an organization in consideration for the services rendered.

Employee compensation can be in cash form such as salary and wages, perquisites, allowances, incentives, commission, etc.

In the given case,

Compensation for Employee A:

= Gross Pay + Employee benefits - Job expenses

= $57200 + 5300 - 800

=  $ 61,700    

Similarly,

Compensation for Employee B:

= Gross Pay + Employee benefits - Job expenses

= $56,900 + $6200 - $ 1400

= $61,700

Thus, employment compensation for both A and B are the same.
