Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of a profit-sharing plan: A profit-sharing plan is a type of retirement plan where an employer shares a portion of the company's profits with employees by contributing to their retirement accounts.
Eliminate incorrect options: Review each option and determine whether it aligns with the definition of a profit-sharing plan. For example, 'A method of allocating overhead costs to products' is unrelated to retirement plans and can be eliminated.
Evaluate the option 'A plan where employees receive fixed salaries regardless of company performance': This describes a salary structure, not a profit-sharing plan, so it can be eliminated.
Consider the option 'A government-mandated tax on corporate earnings': This refers to taxation, not a retirement plan, so it can also be eliminated.
Select the correct option: 'A retirement plan in which an employer contributes a portion of company profits to employee accounts' aligns with the definition of a profit-sharing plan and is the correct answer.
