Solution Steps

Step 1: Compute Carver's gross pay for working 46 hours
  • Straight-time pay for 40 hours: \( 40 \times \$30 = \$1,200 \).
  • Overtime pay for 6 hours: \( 6 \times \$30 \times 1.5 = \$270 \).
  • Gross pay: \( \$1,200 + \$270 = \$1,470 \).
Step 2: Compute Carver's OASDI tax
  • OASDI tax rate: \( 6.2\% \).
  • OASDI tax: \( \$1,470 \times 0.062 = \$91.14 \).
Step 3: Compute Carver's Medicare tax
  • Medicare tax rate: \( 1.45\% \).
  • Medicare tax: \( \$1,470 \times 0.0145 = \$21.32 \).
Step 4: Compute Carver's total withholdings
  • Employee income tax: \( 20\% \) of gross pay: \( \$1,470 \times 0.20 = \$294 \).
  • Total withholdings: \( \$91.14 + \$21.32 + \$294 = \$406.46 \).
Step 5: Compute Carver's net (take-home) pay
  • Net pay: \( \$1,470 - \$406.46 = \$1,063.54 \).

Final Answer

\(\boxed{1,063.54}\)
