Answer:

$42,000

Explanation:

Let L be the lowest possible salary;

the maximum salary would be (L x 20%) + L = 1.2L

If we want to determine the minimum value for L, we need to assume that everyone else earns the maximum salary: 20 employees earn 1.2L each

L + 20(1.2L) = 1050000

L + 24L = 1050000

25L = 1050000

L = 42000
