An employee receives an hourly rate of $27, with time and a half for all hours worked in excess of 40 during a week. Payroll data for the current week are as follows: hours worked, 46; federal income tax withheld, $350; cumulative earnings for year prior to current week, $99,700; social security tax rate, 6.0% on maximum of $106,800; and Medicare tax rate, 1.5% on all earnings. What is the gross pay for the employee

Answer :

Answer:

$1,323

Explanation:

The computation of the gross pay for the employees is shown below;

Gross pay = ( Hours worked × Hourly rate ) + (Hours worked - excess worked hours) × Hourly rate × half yearly basis

= (46 hours × $27 ) + (46 hours - 40 hours) × $27 × 0.50

= $1,323

We simply applied the above formula to determine the gross pay for the employee without deducting any kind of taxes given in the question.
