Wait, wait, wait. What if the answer is D) 5.5% of profit? You know, because the company has to recognize both the original 3% and the reduced 2.5% due to turnover. Just throwing that out there.

You guys are overthinking this. The correct answer is clearly C) 3% of profit. The company recognizes the full profit-sharing obligation, even if it's reduced later due to turnover.

Really? I was thinking it's A) 0.5% of profit, since that's the difference between the original 3% and the reduced 2.5% due to staff turnover.

I think it's B) 2.5% of profit, that's what the company estimates after factoring in staff turnover.

Hmm, this is tricky. I think the answer is B) 2.5% of profit, since the company estimates that staff turnover will reduce the payments to that amount.
