K. Mello Company has three employees-a consultant, a computer programmer, and an administrator. The following payroll information is available for each employee:

Overtime earnings rate	Not applicable		2 times hourly rate		1.5 times hourly rate

For hourly employees, overtime is paid for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week.

For the current pay period, the computer programmer worked 55 hours and the administrator worked 64 hours. Assume further that the social security tax rate was 6%, and the Medicare tax rate was 1.5%.
