    The overtime premium pay is $53.7. Thus, answer c is the correct option.

    Explanation:

    The overtime premium is the additional amount over basic pay rate that is given to employees for working over normal working hours. This is not the same as overtime pay because over time pay is calculated by taking the whole overtime pay rate multiplied by overtime hours. While overtime premium is the additional amount over basic pay rate that is paid in overtime.

    The overtime premium pay for Carjmen Gaetano is:

    Over time pay rate = 17.9 * 1.5 = $26.85

    The over time premium pay per hour is = 26.85 - 17.9 = $8.95 per overtime hour

    The number of overtime hours = 46 - 40 = 6 hours

    Thus, overtime premium pay = 6 * 8.95 = $53.7
