=$524.81

Explanation:

Net pay = Earning - taxation

Calculating net pay: hour pay x hours worked

= $12 x 40

= $ 480

overtime pay = 12 + (50/100x12) x 8

= (12+6) x8

=144

total earnings = $144+$ 480 = $624

less deduction

social and medicare rate = 7.65 percent

federal and state unemployment rate = 0.6 + 3.8%

total deduction = 7.65 + O. 6 + 3.8 = 12.05 %

Actual deduction = 12.05/100 x 624 = 75.19

Net pay = $624 - $75.19

=$524.81
