Answer:

$15,500.00

Explanation:

The amount of expense will be Belkin's contributions only.  No amount can be deducted from the retirees as they are not in Belkin's payroll.

The amount of expenses will be 5% of the $310,000.

The actual amount will be 5% x $310,000.

= 5/100 x 310,000

=0.05 x 310,000

=$15,500.00
