1. **Problem Statement:** Jenny works from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. with a daily wage of 537. We need to compute her overtime pay for the days she worked beyond regular hours. 2. **Summary of Overtime:** - Regular working hours: 8 hours per day (8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. minus 1 hour lunch break assumed) - Overtime hours: Hours worked beyond 8 hours per day - Overtime rate: Typically 1.25 times the hourly rate for regular days 3. **Formula Used:** $$\text{Overtime Pay} = \text{Overtime Hours} \times \text{Hourly Rate} \times \text{Overtime Rate}$$ 4. **Step-by-step Solution:** - Calculate hourly rate: $$\text{Hourly Rate} = \frac{537}{8} = 67.125$$ - Calculate overtime hours for each day (Time Out - 5:00 P.M.) if Time Out > 5:00 P.M. | Date | Time Out | Overtime Hours | |------------|----------|----------------| | 21 Dec | 6:00 P.M.| 1 hour | | 22 Dec | 6:00 P.M.| 1 hour | | 23 Dec | 6:00 P.M.| 1 hour | | 24 Dec | 11:00 A.M.| 0 hour | | 26 Dec | 5:00 P.M.| 0 hour | | 27 Dec | 7:00 P.M.| 2 hours | | 28 Dec | 3:00 P.M.| 0 hour | | 29 Dec | 7:00 P.M.| 2 hours | | 30 Dec | 7:00 P.M.| 2 hours | | 31 Dec | 11:30 P.M.| 6.5 hours | | 2 Jan | 5:00 P.M.| 0 hour | | 3 Jan | 5:00 P.M.| 0 hour | | 4 Jan | 4:00 P.M.| 0 hour | - Sum of overtime hours: $$1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 2 + 6.5 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 15.5$$ - Calculate total overtime pay: $$\text{Overtime Pay} = 15.5 \times 67.125 \times 1.25 = 1298.90625$$ 5. **Final Answer:** Jenny's total overtime pay is **1298.91** (rounded to two decimal places).
