Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation below.
Explanation:
Solution:
According to the data given: This can be solved as following. (Note: we are not given income tax tables to calculate the accurate net pay. So, according to given information here. Following is the accurate one. )
Let's assume, a 6.2% tax rate for SS ( Social Security) and 1.45% tax rate on Medicare:
So,
Social Security = 6.2%
Medicare = 1.45%
Pay Per hour = $14.30
So, let's calculate Rhonda's Gross pay:
Gross Pay = Pay per hour x total number of hours
Gross pay = $14.30 x 80 hours
Gross Pay = $1,144
Now, calculate the Rhonda's Reduction for Social Security:
Rhonda's Reduction for Social Security = $1,144 x 6.2%
Rhonda's Reduction for Social Security = $70.928
Similarly, Rhonda' Reduction for Medicare:
Rhonda' Reduction for Medicare = $1,144 x 1.45%
Rhonda' Reduction for Medicare = $16.588
So Finally,
Rhonda's Take-home Pay for her first check will be = Gross pay - Rhonda's Reduction for Social Security - Rhonda' Reduction for Medicare
Rhonda's Take-home Pay for her first check will be = $1,144 - $70.928 - $16.588
Rhonda's Take-home Pay for her first check will be = $1,056.484
