    Normal Rate is $40 per hr

    Overtime Rate is ($36.00 x 1.75) = $63.00.

    Total hrs worked = 50 hrs

    Hence payment is:

    (40hrs x $36) Normal Rate = $1,440

    (10hrs * $63) Overtime Rate = $630

    Gross Pay. $2,070

    b) Since our prior gross pay was $52,200 and current gross pay is $2,070 this is still under the $100,000

    Hence, we need to Pay tax 6% on the current gross pay amt.

    Social Sec. Tax = $2,070 - 6% = $124.2

    Medicare Tax = $2,070 - 1.5% = $31.05

    Federal Income Tax = $476

    Hence Net Pay:

    .$2,070 - $124.2 - $31.05 - $476

    = $1,438.75

    Net Pay = $1,438.75
