Answer Options
A
$504.00
B
$320,040.00
C
$5,040.00
D
$6,615.00

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The bond premium estimate equals bond amount multiplied by the premium rate.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: $504.00

$504.00 is below the supported result for bond premium estimate; it likely skips a premium-pay or employer-cost component.

Option B: $320,040.00

$320,040.00 is above the supported result for bond premium estimate; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.

Option D: $6,615.00

$6,615.00 is above the supported result for bond premium estimate; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.
