Quizplus · Accepted Answer

David worked 45 hours, which means he worked 5 hours of overtime. Time-and-a-half means he would make $15 per hour for those 5 overtime hours.

Regular pay: 40 hours * $10/hour = $400 
Overtime pay: 5 hours * $15/hour = $75

Total pay for the week: $400 + $75 = $475

We know that the overtime was due to priority scheduling for Job 532, so we need to charge that job for the overtime hours.

To find the amount charged to Job 532, we need to calculate the percentage of David's total hours that were worked on Job 532.

Job 532 hours: 11 + 4 = 15 
Percentage of total hours: 15/45 = 1/3

So, 1/3 of David's total pay for the week should be charged to Job 532:

1/3 * $475 = $158.33

However, we only need to charge for the overtime hours:

5 hours * $15/hour = $75

Therefore, the correct answer is D) $135.
