    A) 1,400

    B) 1,055.85

    Explanation:

    An employee earns $25 per hour at 2 times the rate for all hours in excess of 40 hours per week

    The employee works for 48 hours in that week

    Social security tax rate is 6.0%

    Medicare tax rate is 1.5%

    Federal income tax = $239.15

    (a) Gross pay = Regular pay+overtime

    The regular pay can be calculated by multiplying the amount earned by the number of hours spent in the week

    Regular pay = 40*25

    = 1,000

    The overtime can be calculated by multiplying the extra hours spent (48 hours-40 hours = 8 hours) by the amount earned and the rate

    Overtime = 8 * 25 * 2

    = 400

    Gross pay = 1,000+400

    = 1,400

    (B) Net pay = Gross pay-Federal taxes withheld-Taxes payable

    = 1,400-239.15 - (6.0% of 1400-1.5% of 1,400)

    = 1,400-239.15-84-21

    = 1,055.85

    Hence the gross pay is 1,400 and the net pay is 1,055.85
