Answer to Problem 1ES

Solution:

The gross earnings of Allen, H. is $973.14_.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

For a regular week of 40 hours with the overtime rate of 1.5 times of the regular rate, Allen, H. works for 8 hours on Monday, 9 hours on Tuesday, 8 hours on Wednesday, 7 hours on Thursday, 10 hours on Friday, 4 hours on Saturday and 0 hours on Sunday with the hourly wage of $19.86.

Formula used:

To find the gross pay per week based on hourly wages:

Step 1: Find the regular pay.

If the hours worked in the week are 40 or fewer, multiply the hours worked by the hourly wage. Round to the nearest cent.

If the hours worked are more than 40, multiply 40 by the hourly wage. Round to the nearest cent.

Step 2: Find the overtime pay:

If the hours worked are 40 or fewer, the overtime pay is $0

If the hours worked are more than 40, subtract 40 from the hours worked and multiply the difference by the overtime rate. Round to the nearest cent.

Calculation:

Consider the provided information,

Add the worked hours of all the days in a week to calculate the total worked hours of Allen, H..

So,

8+9+8+7+10+4+0=46

So, the total worked hours of Allen, H. during the week is 46 hours. The gross earnings of Allen, H. is required.

First calculate the regular pay. As the worked hours of 46 is more than 40 hours, multiply 40 hours with the hourly wage of $19.86. So, the regular pay is calculated as,

Regular pay=40($19.86)=$794.4

Thus, the regular pay is $794.40.

To calculate the overtime pay, first calculate the overtime hours. The total number of hours worked by Allen, H. during the week is 46 hours is greater than the regular working hours of 40 hours. So, subtract 40 hours from the worked hours of 46 hours.

Overtime hours=4640=6 hours

As the overtime rate is 1.5 times of the regular hourly wage of $19.86, multiply the overtime hours with the overtime rate to calculate the overtime pay.

Overtime pay=6($19.86)(1.5)=$178.74

Thus, the overtime pay is $178.74.

Add the regular pay and the overtime pay to calculate the gross pay or earnings of Allen, H.

So,

Gross pay=$794.40+$178.74=$973.14

Therefore, the total gross earnings of Allen, H. is $973.14.
