How much will the company pay in separation costs if these exit interviews are implemented next year? Select: 1Save Answer $2,616,300 $191,100 $464,100 $1,077,300

Answer 1

Answer: $362,100

Explanation:

I could not find your exact question's details but I believe this can act as a reference.

Baldwin has 473 employees (given as the Complement). They plan to downsize by 15% which means they plan to retrench;

= 473 * 15%

= 70.95

= 71 people

The cost of retrenching one person is;

= 100 + 5,000

= $5,100

For 71 employees;

= 5,100 * 71

= $362,100
