Sheila Williams, a medical secretary, earns $2,437 monthly for a 34-hour week. For overtime work, she receives extra pay at the regular hourly rate up to 40 hours and time and one-half beyond 40 hours in any week.

Answer:

a. The regular semimonthly earnings

regular semimonthly earnings = [34 hours + 34 hours + (10 hours - 2 hours)] x [$2,437 / (34 hours x 4)] = 76 hours x $17.92/hr = $1,361.85

b. The overtime earnings

overtime earnings = 2 hours x [$2,437 / (34 hours x 4)] x 1.5 = $53.76

c. The total earnings

total earnings = $1,361.85 (regular earnings) + $53.76 (overtime earnings) = $1,415.61
