We will assume the current year number of employees is 434 and the current year recruiting spend is $5000.

 

Current compliment 434
Turnover rate 6.28%
Employees to be recruited 27.2552
Current recruitment spend $5,000
Recruiting base $1,000
Additional recruitment spend $500
Total recruitment spend per employee $6,500
Total recruiting cost $166,159

The correct answer is b. (we must assume the difference is due to rounding)
