Question

Hi,

I already know how to solve a) = 86.08 and b) =1119.08. So, no worry about a) and b).

JUST FOCUS QUESTION C), PLEASE.

I ALREADY TYPE THE NUMBER : $1,031.8

BUT They told me the answer 1,031.8 IS WRONG. I also try 1,031.80 Or 1032

ALL ARE WRONG NUMBER.

They gave me the HINT:

c. For a Belo Plan multiply maximum hours by hourly rate. Add this to ½ times the regular rate multiplied by the number of hours over 40 = Belo Pay.

So, please help me to solve question c) and give me the correct answer. Thank you!

Here is the problem I have to solve

Carrie Overwood works fluctuating work schedules. Besides her fixed salary of $1,033 per week, her employment agreement provides for overtime pay at an extra half-rate for hours worked over 40. This week she worked 48 hours. Compute the following amounts.

Round all divisions to two decimal places and use the rounded amounts in subsequent computations. Round your final answers to the nearest cent.

a. The overtime earnings	$
b. The total earnings	$

c. If this was a BELO plan with a pay rate of $23.45 per hour and a maximum of 48 hours, how much would Overwood be paid for 44 hours?
$

Answer 1

UNDER BELO PLAN PAY RATE @$23.45 PER HOUR

THE TOTAL PAY WILL BE PAID FOR MAXIMUM HOUR OF 485 HOURS EVEN THOUGH OVERWOOD HAS WORKED FOR ONLY 44 HOURS

SO PAY OF OVERWOOD WILL BE = 48*$23.45

= $1125.60

AS PER BELO PLAN NO EXTRA PAY AS SHE HAS WORKED ONLY FOR 44 HOURS WHICH IS LESS THAN MAXIMUM 48 HOURS
