Answer 1

Answer:

$1,021

Explanation:

Net income is the net of Gross income and any taxes and deduction.

Income tax and FICA(OASDI and Medicare are calculated on the gross income and

First we calculate the total income using standard and overtime rate

Total Numbers of Hours worked in a week = 50 hours

Standard Hours = 40 hours

Rate of Standard Hours = $24 per hour

Rate of overtime = $36 per hour

Income

Standard = $24 x 40 = $960

Overtime = $36 x (50-40) = $360

Total  = $960 + $360 = $1,320

Income tax = Gross Income x Income tax rate = $1,320 x 15% = $198

FICA(OASDI and Medicare = Gross Income x rate = $1,320 x 7.65% = $101

Net Income = $1,320 - $198 - $101 = $1,021
