Answer: a. $39,304
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us begin by calculating the yearly phone bill. 
$63 per month so that is 
= 63*12
= $756
A total of $756 per year is spent on the company phone.
Kailynn buys 4 sample kits at $235 per kit. 
= 235*4
= $940 in total for the kits last year. 
Add the two figures to get her total expenditure from the company. 
=940+756
= $1696
Subtract this from her total job benefits, 
=$41,000 - $1696
= $39,304
$39,304 was her total employment compensation.
