Question

John Porter is an hourly employee of Motter Company located in New York City. This week, Porter had to travel to the company's regional office in Albany. He left Sunday at noon and arrived in Albany at 3:00 P.M. During the week, he worked his normal 40 hours in the Albany office (Monday through Friday—9 A.M. to 5 P.M.). In addition, he attended the company's mandatory 4-hour work training session on Wednesday evening. Porter's hourly rate of pay is $12.20 per hour.

Round the overtime rate to two decimal places and use the rounded amount in subsequent computations. Round the final answers to the nearest cent.

a. Porter's overtime earnings for the week are
$

b. Porter's total earnings for the week are
$

Answer 1

Porter's normal hourly rate of pay = $12.20 per hour

Porter's overtime hourly rate of pay = Porter's normal hourly rate x 1.5 times

= 12.20 x 1.5

= $18.30 per hour

Porter overtime working hour for the week = 4 hours

a) Porter's overtime earnings for the week = Porter's overtime hourly rate of pay x Porter overtime working hour for the week

= 18.30 x 4

= $73.2

b) During the week, porter normal hour worked = 40 hours

porter normal earnings for the week = porter normal hour worked x Porter's normal hourly rate of pay

= 40 x 12.20

= $488

Porter's total earnings for the week = porter normal earnings for the week + Porter's overtime earnings for the week

= 488 + 73.2

= $561.2
