Respuesta :

Answer:

A) $2,580.00.

Explanation:

The computation of the gross pay is shown below:

Here  Bruce is paid every two weeks = 80 hours

Here 92 hours worked represents that 12 were overtime.

For Manufacturing Department:

Regular Pay:

= $25 × 60

= $1500

Overtime Pay:

= ($25 × 1.5) × 12

= $450

For Design Department:

Regular Pay:

= $31.50 × 20

= $630

Now

= Total Design + Manufacturing Departments:

= $1500 + $450 + $630

= $2,580
