What is the maximum amount of the 1/2 compensation increase described in the termination scenario?

• A. $5,000
• B. $10,000
• C. $15,000
• D. No cap

Answer: (B)

When a termination scenario includes a 50% increase in compensation, that increase is not unlimited—it's capped. The policy sets the maximum at $10,000, so you take half of the compensation but you cannot exceed $10,000. For example, if the base compensation is $8,000, half is $4,000 (under the cap); if the base is $50,000, half would be $25,000, but you’d only receive $10,000 due to the cap. That’s why the maximum amount is $10,000. The other numbers would require a different cap or no cap at all, which this scenario does not allow.
