Answer: $1,974.51

Explanation:

FUTA and SUTA taxes are the responsibility of the employer so the amount withheld from Portia's earnings will be;

= Social security tax  + Medicare tax  + Federal income tax withheld

= (0.062 * 8,488) + ( 0.0145 * 8,488) + 1,325.17

= 526.26 + 123.08 + 1,325.17

= $1,974.51
