XYZ Company pays its executives a starting salary of $80,000 per year. After every two years of employment, an XYZ executive receives a salary raise of $1,000. Which of the following equations best defines an XYZ executive’s salary (S) as a function of the number of years of employment (N) at XYZ?
(A) \(S = \frac{1,000}{N} + 80 000\)
(B) \(S = N + 80,000\)
(C) \(S = \frac{80,000}{N} + 1 000\)
(D) \(S = 1,000N + 80,000\)
(E) \(S = 500N + 80,000\)
(A) \(S = \frac{1,000}{N} + 80 000\)
(B) \(S = N + 80,000\)
(C) \(S = \frac{80,000}{N} + 1 000\)
(D) \(S = 1,000N + 80,000\)
(E) \(S = 500N + 80,000\)

The answer seems E but this questions should have more conditions such that the salary will always be in multiples of 10k or something. Otherwise when N =1, e would be 8500 which isn’t possible as increments are applicable every 2 years.. thoughts?

The increment of 1000$ is paid in increment of 2 years. At first glance answer looks like E, but the answer choice E will not work if the number of years of employment is a odd number since next increment would happen only
Example:
Consider the number of years of employment is 5 years
According to option E, the salary yearned would be
S=500N+80,000 = 500 (5)+80000 = 825000
But this number is not possible since the increment is in 1000s and so last salary increase after 4 years would be 82000 and after 6 years it would 83000.
It looks like the answer choices did not consider the possibility of number of years of employment to be odd.
