Question

Calculate gross pay for each of the following employees. All are paid an overtime wage rate that is 1.5 times their respective regular wage rates.

NOTE: For simplicity, all calculations throughout this exercise, both intermediate and final, should be rounded to two decimal places at each calculation.

1:Anita Workman receives tips from customers as a standard component of her weekly pay. She is paid $2.60/hour by her employer and receives $291 in tips during the most recent 44-hour workweek.

Gross Pay = $

2:Cole Earnhardt receives tips from customers as a standard component of his weekly pay. He is paid 2.18/hour by his employer and receives $430 in tips during the most recent 43-hour workweek.

Gross Pay = $

Gross Pay = $
