Question

Given the pay rate, hours worked, tax deductions, and social security deduction, determine the gross earnings, workmen's compensation insurance (assuming 2% of gross earnings), state unemployment insurance (assuming 4% of gross earnings), total deductions, and net pay.

Answer 1

Answer: assuming Given the pay rate $7.0 and hours worked is 30 hours

Gross earnings = 7 x 30 = $210

Compensation insurance = 2% x $210 = $4.2

state unemployment insurance = 4% x $210 = $8.4

total deductions = 4.2 + 8.4 = $12.6

net pay = 210 - 12.6 = $197.4

Explanation:

Gross earnings  = the pay rate x hours worked

Compensation insurance = 2% of gross earnings

unemployment insurance = 4% of gross earnings

total deductions = Compensation insurance+unemployment insurance

net pay = Gross earnings - otal deductions
