Correct Answer

The contribution is 320 hours times $0.85 per hour, which equals $272.

Answer Options
A
$222.
B
$272.
C
$320.
D
$376.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The contribution is 320 hours times $0.85 per hour, which equals $272.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: $222.

$222. is below the supported result for training fund contributions; it likely skips a premium-pay or employer-cost component.

Option C: $320.

$320. is above the supported result for training fund contributions; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.

Option D: $376.

$376. is above the supported result for training fund contributions; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.
