You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1) A man had two employments on the same day with the following salary condition:The first employment is #300000 per annum with annual imcrement of #12000. The second employment with annual salary of #280000 and the annual increment of #15000. The man decided that he will accept the employment that will give him more earnings in the first 15years of service. Which employment should he accept?
First employment
$300000 per annum with annual imcrement of $12000.
Time period considered = 15 years
The yearly increment is constant =12000
Using
Arithmetic sequence formula for earnings at end of 15 years
a=300000 d=12000, n=15
S15 = 5,760,000
Second employment
280000 and the annual increment of #15000
a= 280000 d=15000, n=15
S15 = (15/2)*(2*280000+(15-1)*15000
S(15)= 5,775,000
Now he can decide
The second employment offers higher earnings in the first 15 years
