------------------------------------
Given
- Starting salary = $38500,
- Annual increase = $1700.
Part A
The salary during the 7th year is:
- 38500 + 1700*(7 - 1) =
- 38500 + 1700*6 =
- 48700
Part B
Total compensation through full 7 years is base salary for 7 years and total of the annual increase:
- 38500*7 + 1700*(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6) =
- 269500 + 1700*6/2*(1 + 6) =
- 269500 + 1700*21 =
- 305200
