Question

A semiconductor manufacturing company employs 1,000 people. The average weekly salary of each employee is $750. Select the graph that correctly shows the total cost to the company of paying its employees during a year.

Answer 1

I'd say the top one. The second and third both exceed a year. The last seems to be similar to the top, but I was taught that the dependent variable is the y axis.

Answer 2

Option A

Explanation:

The semiconductor manufacturing company employs 1000 people average weekly salary of each employee is $750.

So total cost to the company = 750 × 1000

= $750,000 per week.

From the given graphs, the ratio of amount to weeks will show the cost to the company for a week.

Graph A. Cost to the company =
`(300* 1,000,000)/(40)` =

$750,000 per week.

This graph is for 52 week so the correct one.

Graph B. Graph B is same as graph A but data is given for more than 60

weeks so incorrect graph.

Graph C. Ratio of amount and weeks is
`(40000000)/(30)`

= $1333333.33 per week So incorrect option.

Graph D. Graph D is same as graph A and B but it is for less than 40 weeks.

So Incorrect graph.

Option A is the answer.
