Additional information is as follows:
SFCC is in a state without an income tax. Employees’ federal income tax withholdings
depend on various factors, and the amounts are as indicated in the above
table.
No employees worked overtime, with the exception of Oscar Wong, who worked 15 hours of
overtime. Overtime is paid at 150% of
the normal hourly rate.
Assume that gross pay is subject to social security taxes at a
6.5% rate, on an annual base of $100,000.
Assume that Medicare/Medicaid taxes are 1.5% of gross earnings. These taxes are matched by the
employer. Only Marcia Goseco had
earned more than $90,000 during the months leading up to October. She had earned $90,900 during that time
period.
SFCC has 100% participation in a $10 per month employee
charitable contribution program. These
contributions are withheld from monthly pay.
SFCC pays for workers’ compensation insurance at a 2% of gross
pay rate. None of this cost is paid by
the employee.
SFCC provides employees with a group health care plan; however,
the cost is fully paid by employees.
The rate is $250 per month, per employee.
SFCC’s payroll is subject to federal (0.5%) and state (1.5%)
unemployment taxes on each employee’s gross pay, up to $8,000 per year. All employees had earned in excess of
$8,000 in the months leading up to October, with the exception of Karen
Breschi. Karen was first employed
during the month of October.
SFCC contributes 5% of gross pay to an employee retirement
program. Employees do not contribute
to this plan.
(a) Complete the payroll schedule on the accompanying blank worksheet. (b) Prepare journal entries for SFCC’s payroll and the related payroll expenses. Problem 2
