That's $30,000, not $360,000 like some might think.

Wait, are we sure about those numbers? Seems off.

It's $3 PMPM, so that's $30,000 annually for 10,000 members.

I’m a bit confused about the options. If I multiply $3 by 10,000, I get $30,000 for one month, but then I’m not sure how to scale that to a year correctly.

I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, and I think the answer was in the hundreds of thousands, but I can’t recall the exact numbers.

I think the annual cost is just the monthly cost multiplied by 12 and then by the number of members. So, it should be $3 PMPM times 10,000 members times 12 months, right?

I remember we calculated costs like this in class, but I’m not sure if I’m using the right formula for annual costs.

I've got this! The answer is B, $360,000. I just multiplied the $3 PMPM by the 10,000 members and then by 12 months.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The average cost per covered employee is $3 PMPM, and the total number of members is 10,000. So to get the annual cost, I need to multiply the monthly cost by 12 months and the number of members.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I need to make sure I understand the relationship between the average cost per covered employee and the total number of members.

This seems straightforward - I just need to calculate the annual network rental cost based on the given information.

Okay, let me think this through. If I want to remove access to the page, I should probably set the permissions so that the Homepages administrator role is the only one that can access it.

Filing a lawsuit feels a bit extreme. I'd try the more diplomatic route of reaching out to users first and seeing if we can resolve this amicably before escalating to legal action.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about statelessness from our last practice. Could that apply here?

Ugh, I'm not confident about this at all. Security responsibilities can be tricky to remember. I'll have to make an educated guess and hope for the best.

I'm gonna go with option B, $360,000. It's the only one that makes sense based on the information provided. Unless, of course, the health plan is run by a bunch of mathematically challenged llamas. Then all bets are off.

I'm not sure about the llamas, but I'm going with option B too. $360,000 seems right.

I'm leaning towards option B as well. $360,000 makes sense based on the data.

I think it's option A, $30,000. The math checks out.

Option B seems like the obvious choice here. Unless, of course, the health plan is using a gold-plated PPO network. Then it might be option D, $12,000,000. But I doubt it.
