1 answer

$41,200

Explanation:

At the end of the first year with a 3% increase, the employee's salary would be $40,000 + (0.03 x $40,000) = $40,000 + $1,200 = $41,200.

At the end of the second year with another 3% increase, the employee's salary will be $41,200 + (0.03 x $41,200) = $41,200 + $1,236 = $42,436.

So, the employee's salary at the end of the second year will be $42,436.
