The total cost of fringe benefits is calculated by adding the cost of dental insurance, discount club memberships, and the pension plan. Dental insurance cost = 79 employees * $30.98/employee = $2,447.42 Discount club memberships = 79 employees * $9.15/employee = $722.85 Pension plan cost = 6.6% of $35,076.00 = $2,315.02 Total fringe benefits = $2,447.42 + $722.85 + $2,315.02 = $5,485.29
