<p> <br />1. The year-to-date regular hourly pay is calculated by multiplying the current pay period's regular hourly pay by 2 (since he is paid semi-monthly).<br />2. The year-to-date gross pay is calculated by multiplying the current gross pay by 2 (since he is paid semi-monthly).<br />3. The year-to-date total deductions are calculated by multiplying the total current deductions by 2 (since he is paid semi-monthly).<br />4. The current net pay is calculated by subtracting the total current deductions from the current gross pay.<br />5. The year-to-date net pay is calculated by subtracting the year-to-date total deductions from the year-to-date gross pay.<br />6. The answers to parts a) and b) are the same because the year-to-date regular hourly pay is the total amount Yau earned from his regular hours, and the year-to-date gross pay is the total amount he earned before any deductions. Since Yau only has regular hours and no other types of earnings, these two amounts are the same.<br /></p>
