Solution

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the gross wage, deductions, and net wage for Ms. K Njokwe for the week ended 15 March 2024.

Step 1: Calculate the total hours worked Monday: 9 hours Tuesday: 11 hours Wednesday: 10 hours Thursday: 12 hours Friday: 9 hours Total hours worked = 9+11+10+12+9 = 51 hours

Step 2: Calculate the overtime hours The normal working week is 45 hours, so any hours worked over this amount are considered overtime. Overtime hours = Total hours worked - Normal working hours = 51 - 45 = 6 hours

Step 3: Calculate the gross wage The normal weekly wage is R1 890 for 45 hours, so the hourly wage is R1 890 / 45 = R42 per hour. The overtime wage is time and a half, so the overtime hourly wage is R42 * 1.5 = R63 per hour. Gross wage = (Normal hours * Normal hourly wage) + (Overtime hours * Overtime hourly wage) = (45 * R42) + (6 * R63) = R1 890 + R378 = R2 268

Step 4: Calculate the deductions UIF: 2% of gross wage = 0.02 * R2 268 = R45.36 Medical Aid: 8% of normal wage = 0.08 * R1 890 = R151.20 Pension fund: 8% of normal wage = 0.08 * R1 890 = R151.20 PAYE: 18% of taxable income. The taxable income is the gross wage minus the pension fund and medical aid contributions = R2 268 - R151.20 - R151.20 = R1 965.60. So, PAYE = 0.18 * R1 965.60 = R354.01

Step 5: Calculate the net wage Net wage = Gross wage - Total deductions = R2 268 - (R45.36 + R151.20 + R151.20 + R354.01) = R2 268 - R701.77 = R1 566.23

So, the missing data are: Blank 1: R2 268 (Gross wage) Blank 2: R45.36 (UIF) Blank 3: R151.20 (Medical Aid) Blank 4: R151.20 (Pension fund) Blank 5: R354.01 (PAYE) Blank 6: R1 566.23 (Net wage) Blank 7: R354.01 (PAYE) Blank 8: R151.20 (Medical Aid) Blank 9: R45.36 (UIF) Blank 10: R1 566.23 (Net wage) Blank 11: R354.01 (PAYE) Blank 12: R151.20 (Medical Aid) Blank 13: R45.36 (UIF) Blank 14: R1 566.23 (Net wage)
