Krista wants to hire a new employee for her marketing firm but is trying to calculate how much this new hire will cost her. She is planning to pay the new employee a base salary of $40,000, which means that this new employee will actually cost her _ once taxes and benefits are included.

Question

A. $42,000-$44,000
B. $60,000-$62,000
C.• $50,000-$56,000
D. • $75,000-$80,000

Answer 1

To calculate the total cost of the new employee, we need to add the taxes and benefits to the base salary.

Let's assume the taxes and benefits amount to an additional 25% of the base salary.

25% of $40,000 = $10,000

So, the total cost of the new employee for Krista will be $40,000 + $10,000 = $50,000.

Therefore, the answer is C. $50,000-$56,000.
