Answer 1

To determine the gross earnings, taxable income, total deductions, and net pay of each employee, we will first need to calculate a few things step by step.

### A. Gross Earnings Calculation

1. **Abel Tena:**
- Basic Salary = Br. 2,400
- Allowance = Br. 250
- Overtime = 30 hours
- Assume overtime pay is typically 1.5 times the basic hourly rate. His basic hourly rate is Br. 2,400 / 160 = Br. 15/hour. Thus, overtime pay = 1.5 * Br. 15 * 30 = Br. 675.
- Gross Earnings = Basic Salary + Allowance + Overtime = 2,400 + 250 + 675 = Br. 3,325

2. **Sara Chala:**
- Basic Salary = Br. 3,200
- Allowance = Br. 500
- Overtime = 20 hours. Overtime pay = 1.5 * Br. 3,200 / 160 * 20 = 1.5 * Br. 20 * 20 = Br. 600.
- Gross Earnings = Basic Salary + Allowance + Overtime = 3,200 + 500 + 600 = Br. 4,300

3. **Nega Girum:**
- Basic Salary = Br. 1,600
- Allowance = Br. 100 (not taxable)
- Overtime = 10 hours (weekends) + 18 hours (public holiday) = 28 hours. Overtime pay = 1.5 * Br. 1,600 / 160 * 28 = 1.5 * Br. 10 * 28 = Br. 420.
- Gross Earnings = Basic Salary + Allowance + Overtime = 1,600 + 100 + 420 = Br. 2,120

### Summary of Gross Earnings
- **Abel Tena:** Br. 3,325
- **Sara Chala:** Br. 4,300
- **Nega Girum:** Br. 2,120

### B. Taxable Income Calculation

To calculate the taxable income, we subtract any non-taxable allowances and deductions from the gross earnings:

1. **Abel Tena:**
- Taxable Income = Gross Earnings - (Non-taxable Allowances)
- Taxable Income = 3,325 - 0 = Br. 3,325

2. **Sara Chala:**
- Taxable Income = Gross Earnings - (Non-taxable Allowances)
- Taxable Income = 4,300 - 0 = Br. 4,300

3. **Nega Girum:**
- Taxable Income = Gross Earnings - Non-taxable Allowances
- Taxable Income = 2,120 - 100 = Br. 2,020

### C. Total Deductions Calculation

Total deductions are comprised of deductions for the credit association contributions:

- Contribution = 10% of Basic Salary

1. **Abel Tena:**
- Contribution = 10% of Br. 2,400 = Br. 240
- Total Deductions = Br. 240

2. **Sara Chala:**
- Contribution = 10% of Br. 3,200 = Br. 320
- Total Deductions = Br. 320

3. **Nega Girum:**
- Contribution = 10% of Br. 1,600 = Br. 160
- Total Deductions = Br. 160

### D. Net Pay Calculation

Net pay is calculated by subtracting total deductions from gross earnings:

1. **Abel Tena:**
- Net Pay = Gross Earnings - Total Deductions = 3,325 - 240 = Br. 3,085

2. **Sara Chala:**
- Net Pay = Gross Earnings - Total Deductions = 4,300 - 320 = Br. 3,980

3. **Nega Girum:**
- Net Pay = Gross Earnings - Total Deductions = 2,120 - 160 = Br. 1,960

### Summary of Results

- Abel Tena: Br. 3,325
- Sara Chala: Br. 4,300
- Nega Girum: Br. 2,120
