Gillian's regular time pay would be:

40 hours x $15/hour = $600

For the excess 10 hours, she would be paid time-and-a-half:

10 hours x $15/hour x 1.5 = $225

Therefore, her total wages for the week would be:

$600 + $225 = $825

Since she worked all 50 hours on direct labour, the total amount should be charged to direct labour:

$825 = C) $750
