Question

Note: In this chapter and in all succeeding work throughout the course, unless instructed otherwise, calculate hourly rates and overtime rates as follows: 1. Carry the hourly rate and the overtime rate to 3 decimal places and then round off to 2 decimal places (round the hourly rate to 2 decimal places before multiplying by one and one-half to determine the over-time rate). 2. If the third decimal place is 5 or more, round to the next higher cent. 3. If the third decimal place is less than 5, simply drop the third decimal place. Examples: Monthly rate $1,827 Weekly rate ($1,827 × 12)/52 = $421.615 rounded to $421.62 Hourly rate $421.62/40 = $10.540 rounded to $10.54 O.T. rate $10.54 × 1.5 = $15.81 Also, use the minimum hourly wage of $7.25 in solving these problems and all that follow. Example 2-6 John Dilcher is paid an hourly rate of $18.50 per hour, and he worked 49 hours this week. His gross pay is: 40 hours × $18.50 = $740.00 9 hours × $27.75 ($18.50 × 1.5) = 249.75 Total gross pay = $989.75 The following time card shows the time worked one week by Hal Carsom. The employer disregards any time before 8:00 A.M. or between 12:00 and 1:00 P.M. and after 5:00 P.M. Employees do not begin work until 8:00 A.M. or 1:00 P.M., and do not work beyond 5:00 P.M., unless they are asked to work overtime. Hours worked beyond the regular 8-hour day and on Saturday are paid at one and one-half times the regular rate. Hours worked on Sunday are paid double the regular rate. Fractions of the hour for time worked are based on full quarter-hour increments.

Compute the following: a. The hours worked each day. (Ignore the one-minute tardiness on Friday.) Monday hours Tuesday hours Wednesday hours Thursday hours Friday hours Saturday hours Sunday hours For (b)-(e), if required, round your answers to two decimal places and use the rounded answers in subsequent computations.
