Am having my exam in less than two weeks and from now on daily I will watch the lectures carefully..
Thank you Sir…Thank you sir I andestand that part now but what is the 100/90 representing and how did they come up with that proportion .
I have seen these types of questions but I always miss it on the proportions please help me understand how to deal with turning percentages into proportions.how u have worked it out is exactly how I understand it but in this case they multiplied 38 hours which is inclusive of the 2 over time hours by 3.6 its suppose to be 36 multiplied by 3.6 cud it be that it was an error or some times its done that way??
I do try to watch the lecture videos but it seems network is bad here I hardly access the videos
The question was
Employee A is a carpenter and normally works 36 hours per week .The standard rate of pay is 3.6 dollars per hour.A premium of 50% of the basic hourly rate is paid for all over time hours worked.During the last week of October , Employee A worked for 42 hours .The overtime hours works for the following reasons :
machine breakdown 4 hours
to complete a special job at the request of a customer 2 hoursHow much of Employee As earnings for last week of October would have been treated as direct wages ??
solution
Basic pay (38hours x 3.6) = 136.80
Overtime premium (2 hours x 1.8) = 3.6
total = 140.40
my question is why did the add the 2 hours for overtime to the 36 hours for normal hours and then calculate overtime premium seperatly again …yes I know that since it was specifically requested but y then add the overtime ours to normal hours but still calculate overtime premium seperatly
