Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate regular earnings
Regular earnings = Regular hourly rate × Regular hours. For example, for Mike in cell E2, it's $7.50\times44 = 330.00$.
Step2: Calculate overtime hours
Overtime hours = Total hours worked - Regular hours. For Mike, $45 - 44=1$.
Step3: Calculate overtime rate
Overtime rate = 1.5×Regular hourly rate. For Mike, $1.5\times7.50 = 11.25$.
Step4: Calculate overtime earnings
Overtime earnings = Overtime rate × Overtime hours. For Mike, $11.25\times1 = 11.25$.
Step5: Calculate total weekly earnings
Total weekly earnings = Regular earnings+Overtime earnings. For Mike, $330.00 + 11.25=341.25$.
Step6: For Isobel
Regular earnings: $9.50\times44 = 418.00$. Overtime hours: $45 - 44 = 1$. Overtime rate: $1.5\times9.50=14.25$. Overtime earnings: $14.25\times1 = 14.25$. Total weekly earnings: $418.00+14.25 = 432.25$.
Step7: For Denise
Regular earnings: $12.60\times44 = 554.40$. Overtime hours: $50 - 44 = 6$. Overtime rate: $1.5\times12.60 = 18.90$. Overtime earnings: $18.90\times6=113.40$. Total weekly earnings: $554.40 + 113.40=667.80$.
Step8: For Peter
Regular earnings: $8.50\times44 = 374.00$. Overtime hours: $48 - 44 = 4$. Overtime rate: $1.5\times8.50 = 12.75$. Overtime earnings: $12.75\times4 = 51.00$. Total weekly earnings: $374.00+51.00 = 425.00$.
Step9: For Sara
Regular earnings: $7.75\times44 = 341.00$. Overtime hours: $47 - 44 = 3$. Overtime rate: $1.5\times7.75 = 11.625$. Overtime earnings: $11.625\times3 = 34.875$. Total weekly earnings: $341.00+34.875 = 375.875$.
Answer:
Isobel: $432.25$ Denise: $667.80$ Peter: $425.00$ Sara: $375.875$
