Answer 1

wage rate = $27.44

Overtime Wage Rate = $68.6

Explanation:

given data

biweekly wage = $2,470

work = 45 hours

solution

we know that here No of Days in a Biwek is 14 day and No of Hour Worked in one week is 45 Hour

so that we can say No of Hour Worked 2 week = 90 hours

so

we get here first regular wage rate that is

wage rate = Total biweekly wages ÷ No. of Hour worked in a biweek

wage rate =
`(2470)/(90)`

wage rate = $27.44

and

Overtime Wage Rate will be

as overtime hour = 45 hour - 40 hour = 5 hours

Overtime Wage Rate = regular rate × overtime hour ÷ 2

Overtime Wage Rate = 27.44 × 5 ÷ 2

Overtime Wage Rate = $68.6
