Sandra is a dog walker who usually looks after twelve dogs. In the morning, Sandra picks the dogs up from their owners’ homes and then takes them to a local park to exercise and entertain before dropping them back at their respective owner’s home. Every Sunday, the owners pay Sandra at an hourly rate for the services she rendered that week. Typically, Sandra’s weekly income is adequate, but it is not always consistent, particularly when it rains, as the owners often choose to keep their dog indoors in bad weather.
Which of the following plans, if implemented, is most likely to make Sandra's weekly income both consistent and adequate?
A) Combine resources with a friend who looks after dogs under similar arrangements, enabling the two dog walkers to cooperate in looking after double the dogs that Sandra currently does.
B) Employ a permanent assistant and invest in protective gear to shield the dogs from the cold.
C) Replace payment by actual hours of pet care services provided with a fixed weekly fee based upon the number of hours of pet care that Sandra would typically be expected to provide.
D) Raise her hourly rate enough to provide adequate income, even if half of the dogs Sandra usually takes to the park are kept indoors for a full workweek.
E) Raise her daily hours of availability, so that dog-owners can have Sandra exercise their pets for more time every day at the current hourly rate.

C is correct. The issue is that Sandra's wages are inconsistent - so if the actual hours of service provided is replaced by a fixed amount corresponding to the number of hours of service expected to be provided - then the problem will be solved.

I chose Answer C because the problem is that her wages are not consistent because of the weather, so if she got a payment weekly based on the number of expected hours, then this would solve the problem of her wages being consistent and therefore adequate.
