Answer 1

"Baldwin currently pays his employees with $50 per hour and promises to give an additional performance bonus of 0.5%in compensation if the productivity goals are reached.

Assuming that he has 500 employees, he needs to pay his employees:

$50 * (1+0.005) = $50.25/hour will become the new rate of each employee,

If he has 500 employees: 500 * $50.25 = $25,125

He has to pay a total of $25,125 per hour in total.
