Explanation / Answer
Answer for 2 Pat Kunz
Regular earning for regular 40 hours a week = $725
Therefore regular earning per regular hour = $725/40hours = 18.125 per hour
Overtime earning = one-half of regular earning
i.e, overtime earning = 1.5 * regular earning per hour * Overtime working hour
In the Given Case :-
Regular Working Hours = 40 Hours
Overtime working hours = Total Worked hours - Regular Working Hours
= 44 hours - 40 hours
= 4 hours
Calculations :-
1. Regular earning = Total regular hours * regular earning per hour
= 40 hours * $18.125
= $725
2. Overtime earning = 1.5 * regular earning per hour * Overtime working hour
= 1.5 * $18.125 * 4 hours
= $108.75
3. Total earning = Regular earning + overtime earning
= $725 + $108.75
= $833.75
