    The correct answer for option (a) is $3,080 and for option (b) is $2,141.

    Explanation:

    (a). Current pay = $44

    After 40 hours, Pay = $44 * 1.5 = $66

    So, we can calculate the gross pay by using following formula:

    Gross pay = (40 hours * $44) + (20 hours * $66)

    = $1,760 + $1,320

    = $3,080

    (b).

    Security Tax = Gross pay * 6% = $3,080 * 6% = $184.8

    Medicare Tax = Gross pay * 1.5% = $3,080 * 1.5% = $46.2

    Federal Income Tax = $708

    So, we can calculate the net pay by using following formula:

    Net Pay = $3,080 - $184.8 - $46.2 - $708

    = $2,141
