Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Answer option A is correct.
The compa-ratio helps organizations determine how closely an employee's pay is in synch with market. You must also consider the length of employment, service, skills, and other factors in the decision for compensation. The ratio is found by dividing the employees' salary ($75,000) by the midpoint for the role ($80,000) for the ratio of 88 percent.
Answer option B is incorrect. 113 percent is the inverted formula by dividing $80,000 by $75,000.
Answer option C is incorrect. $10,000 is the difference of the two values, but this isn't the compa-ratio.
Answer option D is incorrect. This isn't a valid figure for the question.
