Answer 1

Answer:

Total earnings= $581.52

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Jane receives 16 cents for every unit produced. jane produces 3,512 pieces in a 43-hour workweek.

For overtime, Jane is paid a sum equal to one-half the regular hourly pay rate.

I will assume that Jane works evenly each hour.

First, we will determine the number of units produced for an hour:

Units for an hour= 3,512/43= 81.67 units

Now, the total piece work and overtime:

Piecework= 0.16*3,512= $561.92

Overtime= (81.67*3)*0.08= $19.6

Total earnings= $581.52
