Answer:

4th answer is correct

Explanation:

The weekly wage after the increase

Mean weekly wage after the increase

$789.35 + ( $789.35 × 5.125% )

$789.35 + $40.47

New mean annual wage

Mean annual wage

= Mean weekly wage after increase × 52

= $829.82 × 52

= $43149.82

Therefore, the new mean annual wage is approximately $43149.82.
