A worker's present salary is N24,000 per annum. His annual increment is 10% of his basic salary. What would be his annual salary at the beginning of the third year?

A.

N28,800

B.

N29,040

C.

N31,200

D.

N31,944

Correct answer is B

Present salary = N24,000.

Increment after first year = \(\frac{10}{100} \times N24,000 = N2,400\)

Salary at the beginning of second year = N(24,000 + 2,400)

= N26,400.

Increment after second year = \(\frac{10}{100} \times N26,400 = N2,640\)

Salary at the beginning of third year = N(26,400 + 2,640)

= N29,040.

\(\therefore\) His salary at the beginning of the third year = N29,040.
