The correct answer is: Profit Sharing Plan.

Explanation:

A Profit Sharing Plan is a type of retirement plan where employers provide workers contributions based on their income and company's earnings. A Profit Sharing Plan is suitable for companies with changing earnings because in case the firm does not have revenues given a period, the firms are not obligated to provide contributions to its employees.

The maximum contribution is higher relative to other retirement plans - 25% for the Profit Sharing Plan. Top managers would be benefited since they receive higher wages.
