You wish to explain to your boss what effect taking the base-10 logarithm of the salary values

Question:

You wish to explain to your boss what effect taking the base-10 logarithm of the salary values in the company’s database will have on the data. As a simple example, you compare a salary of $10,000 earned by a part-time shipping clerk, a salary of $100,000 earned by a manager, and the CEO’s $1,000,000 compensation package. Why might the average of these values be a misleading summary? What would the logarithms of these three values be?
