Answer 1

1. To determine which salary is closest to the industry average from the given options:

   The provided salaries are $63,000, $63,000, $52,000, $52,000, $39,000, and $48,000.

   The average can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{(63,000 + 63,000 + 52,000 + 52,000 + 39,000 + 48,000)}{6} = \frac{317,000}{6} \approx 52,833.33 \]

   Comparing the salaries, $52,000 is the closest to this average.

2. To compare Mercedes' salary of $55,000 to the industry average calculated previously (around $52,833.33):

   Her salary is slightly above the average. Therefore, the appropriate response is: a little more than the average.

3. The job title most closely associated with corporate identity design is:

   brand designer.

So the final answers are:

1. $52,000
2. a little more than the average
3. brand designer
