Answer:
Bob Knox will be paid $598.5 for 45 hours worked.
Carson Morris will be paid gross pay $903.1 for 50 hours worked.
Explanation:
Bob Knox is paid on piece-rate basis, which means he will be paid based on the units he produced. To calculate his pay
1,890 units × $0.3 = $567
$567 ÷ 45 hours worked = $12.6 per hour
To calculate his overtime pay we multiply by 0.5 because he is paid one half of regular pay as overtime.
$12.6 per hour × 0.5 = $6.3 per hour
$6.3 per hour × 5 hours overtime = $31.5
$31.5 + $567 = $598.5.
Carson Morris is paid average rate basis for overtime. His pay will be calculated as follows,
( 36 hours × $16.00 per hour) + (14 hours × $17.50 per hour ) = $821 for (36 + 14) 50 hours.
$821 ÷ 50 hours = $16.42 per hour
$16.42 × 0.5 = $8.21 per hour
$8.21 per hour × 10 hours overtime = $82.10
=$82.1 + $821 = $903.1
