A final-pay waiting-time penalty is assessed at a daily wage of $210 for 5 days. What penalty amount is calculated?

Correct Answer

B) $1,050.

Five days at $210 per day equals $1,050.

Answer Options
A
$840.
B
$1,050.
C
$1,260.
D
$1,500.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Five days at $210 per day equals $1,050.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: $840.

$840. is below the supported result for final pay penalty calculation; it likely skips a premium-pay or employer-cost component.

Option C: $1,260.

$1,260. is above the supported result for final pay penalty calculation; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.

Option D: $1,500.

$1,500. is above the supported result for final pay penalty calculation; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.
