1.$19*70% = $13.30 $19 - $13.30 = $5.70 Butcher Enterprises allocated $13.30 for wages and $5.70 for compensation. 2.100(2080) = 208,000 208,000* $13.30 = $2,766,400 100(2080) = 208000 208,000 * $5.70 = $1,185,600 For wages Butcher Enterprises spends $2,766,400 for 100 employees and on benefits they spend $1,185,600. By adding these two numbers $2,766,400 + $1,185,600 = $3,952,000 Butcher Enterprises totally spends $3,952,000 on employees annually. 3.100(2080) =208,000 208,000 * $16 = $3,328,000 100(2080) =208,000 208,000* $7 = $1,456,000 By adding these two values - Eq 1 $3,328,000+$1,456,000 = $4,784,000 Butcher Enterprise currently paying their employees –Eq 2 $2,766,400 + $1,185,600 = $3,952,000 By subtracting Eq 2 from Eq 1 $4,784,000 - $3,952,000 = $832,000 So, there is a need for Butcher Enterprise $832,000 more funds to equally match with the market rates for 100 workers.
