2. Halloween's total hourly pay for the week = $364

3. Halloween's total pay for the week = $512.20

What is a salary?

Salary is a compensation or fixed amount of money paid to an employee by an employer in return for work performed.

For the given situation,

Halloween's salary received per hour = $9.10

Halloween's piecework pay per unit = 15 cents

Total work per week = 40 hours

Total unit produced per week = 988 units.

Part a:

1. Halloween's piecework pay = [tex](988)(15)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]14820 cents[/tex]

we know that $1 = 100 cents

⇒ [tex]\$148.20[/tex]

2. Halloween's total hourly pay for the week = [tex](40)(9.10)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\$364[/tex]

3. Halloween's total pay for the week = [tex]364+148.20[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\$512.20[/tex]

Part b:

Halloween's boss offered to pay her a straight $13 per hour and no piecework pay for the week.

Total amount received for the week = [tex](40)(13)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\$520[/tex]

Difference in pay = [tex]520-512.20[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\$7.80[/tex]

Thus, she earns more when she get the straight salary on hourly basis.

Part c:

If her production is 0 units, then she might get her hourly pay only.

⇒ [tex](40)(9.10)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\$364[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that

Part a:

1. Halloween's piecework pay = $148.20

2. Halloween's total hourly pay for the week = $364

3. Halloween's total pay for the week = $512.20

Part b:

Total amount received for the week = $520 and she earns more when she get the straight salary on hourly basis.

Part c:

Halloween's hourly pay for 0 units production = $364
