Question

Candy is trying to decide between two job offers. The compensation package for job A includes a $300 per-month health insurance plan, to which Candy would contribute $95; a $40 per-month life insurance plan; a salary of $65000 per year; and a 5% match on 401(k) contributions. The compensation package for job B includes a $400 per-month health insurance plan, to which Candy would contribute $105; a $50 per-month life insurance plan; a salary of $64000 per year; and a 9% match on 401(k) contributions. Candy plans to contribute $8000 per year to her 401(k) plan, What is the yearly value of health insurance benefit from job A? How about the yearly value of the health insurance benefit from job B?

Answer 1

Job A's health insurance benefit = $2,460 per year

Job B's health insurance benefit = $3,540 per year

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to calculate the net monthly benefits for each health insurance plan offered to Candy = total insurance plan benefit - candy's contribution.

Then we multiply the monthly benefit by 12 months to find the yearly value.

Job A's health insurance benefit = $300 - $95 = $205 x 12 months = $2,460 per year

Job B's health insurance benefit = $400 - $105 = $295 x 12 months = $3,540 per year
