Maribeth is a wedding cake designer who earns $120 per completed cake. She is married with zero withholding allowances and earns minimum wage (i.e., $7.25 per hour) for non-productive time during a 40-hour workweek. During a weekly pay period, she worked 45 hours, 3 of which were non-productive time, and completed 9 cakes. What is Maribeth’s gross pay? (Do not round interim calculations. Round final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Solution

Solution:

Earnings per completed cake = $120

Cake completed during week = 9

Earning from completed cakes = $120*9 = $1,080

Non productive time for Maribeth = 3 hours

Earning for non productive time = 3*7.25 = $21.75

Gross pay of Maribeth = $1,080 + $21.75 = $1,101.75
