Question

a) $45

b) $66

c) $31,320

d) $31,980

Answer 1

Answer:

a) $45

Explanation:

As for the information provided,

The weekly rate of wages = $615

In a year there are 52 weeks, thus annual wages = $615 $\times$ 52 = $31,980

But since one week is an unpaid leaves, there will be no wages for such week.

Accordingly, annual wages shall be reduced by wages of a week = $31,980 - $615 = $31,365

Note: When the leaves are paid leaves wages are earned for such period.

Also the annual expected expenses = $31,320

Therefore, expected surplus at year end = $31,365 - $31,320 = $45
