Answer 1

Answer:

Option (d) increases by $1,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question :

Increase in gross pay = $500

Increase in employee benefit =  $200

Decrease in the total job expenses = $300

Now,

The increase in total employment compensation

= Increase in gross pay + Increase in employee benefit + Decrease in the total job expenses

= $500 + $200 + $300

= $1,000

Hence,

Option (d) increases by $1,000
