B) $905

C) $850

D) $875

Final answer:

Tina Baldwin's gross income for the week is $839.29.

Tina Baldwin earns $17.10/hour and worked 50 hours during the most recent week. She contributes $110 to a flexible spending account each period. Tina Baldwin is married, claims 4 federal withholding allowances, and 3 state withholding allowances.

Explanation:

Tina Baldwin's gross income for the week can be calculated by multiplying her hourly rate by the number of hours worked. In this case, Tina earns $17.10 per hour and worked 50 hours, so her gross income for the week is $17.10 x 50 = $855.

However, we need to deduct her contributions to the flexible spending account. Tina contributes $110 per period, and since we are looking at a weekly period, we divide that by 7 to get the weekly contribution of $15.71. So, her gross income after deducting the flexible spending account contribution is $855 - $15.71 = $839.29.

Therefore, Tina Baldwin's gross income for the week is $839.29.
