Answer 1

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

NOTE: Total no. of hours - Total no. of normal hours = Total no. of overtime hours

Income = Standard hourly pay × Total no. of normal hours + Standard hourly pay × ( Total no. of hours - Total no. of normal hours ) × Overtime hourly pay

Income = 37.5 × 40 + 37.5 × ( 46.6 - 40 ) × 1.5

Income = $1871.25
