Answer and Explanation:

As per the given question the solution of given points is given here:-

a. Regular pay for the week = Rate of pay × Hours per week

= $12 × 40 hours

= $480.00

b. Overtime pay for the week = Rate of pay × 8 hours × 1.5 times

= $12 × 8 hours × 1.5 times

= $144.00

c. Total gross wages = (Social security withheld + Medicare tax withheld + Federal income tax withheld + Net pay)

= $38.69 + $9.05 + $54 + $522.6

= $624.00

d. Social security withheld = Total gross wages × Social security tax

= $624 × 6.2%

= $38.69

e. Medicare tax withheld = Total gross wage × Medicare tax rate

= $624 × 1.45%

= $9.05

f. Total withholding = Social security withheld + Medicare tax withheld + Federal income tax withheld

= $38.69 + $9.05 + $54

= $101.74

g. Net pay = Total gross wages - Total withholding

= $624.00 - $101.74

= $522.26
