Answer
Brief Explanations:
Sandy's current total compensation is $100,000 (salary + benefits). As a freelancer, he can earn $125,000 in income but will likely have to pay for his own benefits. To make a profit from freelancing, the cost of self - paid benefits should be less than the additional income he can earn ($125,000 - $100,000 = $25,000).
Answer:
B) leave the newsmagazine to work as a freelancer, as long as the benefits he would have to pay for himself cost less than $25,000 per year
