    net pay $1452

    Explanation:

    calculation for gross pay

    basic pay - $32 * 40 hr = $1280

    bonus 32*1.5 * (55-40) = $720

    so total gross pay = 1280+720 = $2000

    taxes

    social security tax = 6% * 2000 = 120

    medicare tax = 1.5% * 2000 = 30

    fedral income tax = $398

    totaL sum of taxes = 120+30+398 = 548

    net pay = 2000 - 548 = $1452
