Explanation:

To find the amount of Mr. Doud's overtime pay, we use the overtime rate and overtime hours.

Step 1: Identify the overtime rate and overtime hours

• Overtime rate (\(OT\) Rate) = \$13.75 per hour (from the first answer)
• Overtime hours (\(OT\) Hrs) = 0.4 hours (from the table: \(O.T\) Hrs = 0.4)

Step 2: Calculate overtime pay

Overtime pay is calculated by multiplying the overtime rate by the overtime hours:
\[
\text{Overtime Pay} = \text{OT Rate} \times \text{OT Hrs}
\]
Substitute the values:
\[
\text{Overtime Pay} = 13.75 \times 0.4
\]

Step 3: Perform the multiplication

\[
13.75 \times 0.4 = 5.5
\]

Answer:

The amount of Mr. Doud’s overtime pay is \(\$5.50\).
