Answer:
1. $714.798
2. $66.402
3. $141.484
Explanation:
1. Gross pay = 62 hours worked x $14.00 per hour
= $868
Net paycheck = Gross pay - Tax
= 868 - [(868) x (6.2%+1.45%+10%)
= $868 - $153.202
= $714.798
2. Employer's payroll tax expense = (6.2%+1.45%) x 868
= $66.402
3. Jim's employer's total payroll tax liability for the period.
868*6.2% (FICA taxes - Employee) + 868*6.2% (FICA taxes - Employer's share) + 868*1.45% (Medicare taxes - Employee) + 868*1.45% (Medicare taxes - Employer's share) + 868*10% (Withholding tax).
= 53.816 + 53.816 + 12.586 + 12.586 + 8.68
Total = $141.484
Answer:
Prosecutors of this case can use the net worth method to determine the extent these executives have been receiving illegal incomes by computing their wealth at the beginning and at the end of the period under investigation.
There will be an increase in the executives wealth, and since this increase cannot be traced to any legal income source, it will become taxable income, with the calculated penalties and fines.
Explanation:
The net worth method specifies that any increase in wealth, which is not traced to non-taxable sources, should be determined as a taxable income for the period under review. Ordinarily, the net worth is the difference between assets and liabilities. Since the executives use the money personally at their convenience, this will increase their personal wealth.
