    Job A  offers a $25,000 annual salary. The employer pays $300 of the employee's benefits and the employee pays $100 a month. Job B offers a $24, 280 annual salary. The employer pays $360 of the employee's benefits and the employee pays $40 a month. Which job offers a better package?

    • Job A

    • Job B

    • They offer equal packages

    Correct Answer
    A. They offer equal packages
    Explanation
    Job A and Job B offer equal packages because when comparing the annual salary, the difference is only $720 ($25,000 - $24,280). However, when considering the benefits, Job A has a higher employee contribution of $100 a month compared to Job B's $40 a month. But, Job A also has a lower employer contribution of $300 compared to Job B's $360. Therefore, the higher employee contribution in Job A is offset by the lower employer contribution, resulting in both jobs offering equal packages overall.
