1. Compute Kathy regular, overtime, gross and net pay
2. Assuming the weekly payroll has been recorded, journalize the payment of her wages for the week ending December 31,2013.

To compute Kathy's regular, overtime, gross, and net pay, we need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate regular hours worked:
Kathy worked 48 hours in total.
Since her regular hours are defined as any hours worked up to 40 in a week, we subtract 40 from 48 to get 8 hours of overtime.
Therefore, regular hours worked = total hours - overtime hours = 48 - 8 = 40 hours.

Step 2: Calculate regular earnings:
Kathy's pay rate is $12.84 per hour for regular hours.
Regular earnings = regular hours * pay rate = 40 hours * $12.84 = $513.60.

Step 3: Calculate overtime earnings:
Kathy's overtime pay rate is 1.5 times her regular hourly rate for any hours worked beyond 40 in a week.
Overtime earnings = overtime hours * overtime pay rate = 8 hours * ($12.84 * 1.5) = $154.56.

Step 4: Calculate gross pay:
Gross pay = regular earnings + overtime earnings = $513.60 + $154.56 = $668.16.

Step 5: Calculate deductions:
a) Social Security tax:
Social Security tax rate = 6.2%.
Social Security tax deduction = gross pay * (Social Security tax rate / 100) = $668.16 * (6.2 / 100) = $41.43.

b) Medicare tax:
Medicare tax rate = 1.45%.
Medicare tax deduction = gross pay * (Medicare tax rate / 100) = $668.16 * (1.45 / 100) = $9.69.

c) Federal income tax:
To calculate federal income tax, we need more information such as Kathy's filing status, tax brackets, and any deductions or credits she may qualify for. Without this information, we cannot determine the exact federal income tax deduction. This calculation typically requires a comprehensive tax calculation or a tax calculator tool.

d) Health and disability insurance premiums:
Deduction for health and disability insurance premiums = $151.00.

e) Charitable contribution:
Deduction for charitable contribution = $18.00.

f) United States Savings Bond:
Deduction for United States Savings Bond = $100.00.

Step 6: Calculate net pay:
Net pay = gross pay - (deductions a + b + c + d + e + f)
Net pay = $668.16 - ($41.43 + $9.69 + (Federal income tax) + $151.00 + $18.00 + $100.00)

Please note that we are missing critical information about Kathy's federal income tax calculation. To accurately determine the net pay, you would need to consider federal tax brackets, filing status, and any other relevant factors.

Regarding the second part of your question on journalizing the payment of Kathy's wages, we need more specific information about the journaling method used by the organization or the journal entry format required in your situation.
