I:
s=5
p=9.50+0.25(5-1)=10.50
II:
s=1
p=9.50+0.25(1-1)=9.50
10.50-9.50=1
B
s=5
p=9.50+0.25(5-1)=10.50
II:
s=1
p=9.50+0.25(1-1)=9.50
10.50-9.50=1
B

Salary grade of 5 is \(p(5)=9.50+0.25(5–1)=9.50+0.25*4\);
Salary grade of 1 is \(p(1)=9.50 + 0.25(1–1)=9.50\);
\(p(5)-p(1)=9.50+0.25*4-9.50=1\).
Answer: B.
Salary grade of 1 is \(p(1)=9.50 + 0.25(1–1)=9.50\);
\(p(5)-p(1)=9.50+0.25*4-9.50=1\).
Answer: B.
