You are starting a new job as a assistant software designer for Tabby Soft. Your hourly wage is $12.00 per hour, you get time and a half for anything over 40 hours, and double time for holidays. Based on a 5-day work week, 8-hour day, and 52 week year, determine your annual gross base salary.

A 5-day week at 8 hours per day is 40 hours per week. At $12 per hour, weekly base pay is 40 × $12 = $480, and annual base pay is $480 × 52 = $24,960. Overtime and holiday rates do not affect this base-salary calculation, so the answer is $24,960.
