Anne is paid $1.50 for each remote-control device she assembles. This is her straight-time compensation for all of her hours worked in a workweek.

She is guaranteed an average hourly rate of at least $8 an hour for her work. The minimum wage in the state in which she works is the same as the federal Fair Labor Standards Act minimum wage, that is, $7.25 per hour.

In a particular workweek, Anne assembles 300 devices and works 45 hours. How much FLSA overtime pay is she due?
