Answer:

Salaried pay is preferable for a new employee

Step-by-step explanation:

As per table, hours worked per week:

  • 0+ 8.5+ 9.5+ 7.5+ 8+ 8.5+ 4 = 46

Employee gets paid for 46 hours per week:

  • $40*14 + (46- 40)*$21 = $686

Average yearly salary would be:

  • $686/7*365 = $35770

Comparing with annual salary, we see:

  • $37000 > $35770

As we see, hourly employees get paid less, so the new employee should choose annual salary option
