Answer 1

You have the following information:

- Remus earns $.15 per unit

- For units he produced over 1,000 he receives $.20

- He produced 1,420 units

In order to determine what were the weekly earnings, you first take into account the earnings for the first 1,000 units:

0.15 x 1,000 = 150

Next, you calculate the earnings for the units over 1,000, which are 420:

0.20 x 420 = 84

Next, you sum both contributions:

150 + 84 = 234

Hence, the weekly earning os Ramus were of $234
