Given:
130,500 net pay to employees
  19,000 income tax withholding
    5,000 FICA withholding

130,500 + 19,000 + 5,000 + 5,000 = 159,500

<span>The total wages and payroll tax expense to the company for this pay period, excluding any unemployment taxes, is $159,500.
</span>
The 5,000 is added twice because the first 5,000 is withheld from the employees salary as the employees share. The employer also has to pay off 5,000 as employer's share to the employee's FICA withholding. Thus, the presence of the 2nd 5,000. 

FICA, <span> Federal Insurance Contributions Act,</span> is composed of
1) <span>6.2 % Social Security tax;
2) <span>1.45 % Medicare tax (the “regular” Medicare tax); and
3) 0.9 % of a Medicare surtax starting 2013 for employees earning over $200,000.

Pop Consulting leased machinery to Red Inc. on July 1, 2018. The lease was recorded as a sales type lease. The present value of
labwork [276]

Answer:

The increase in earnings is $136511.56

Explanation:

Since the lease is a sale type of lease,it means that as soon as the machinery is delivered to the lessee,profit should be recognized on the lease transaction,which is computed below:

Profit on lease=present value of lease payments-costs

                         =$274149-$156000

                          =$118149

However,every six months interest is charged on the lease,which clearly indicates another source of earnings,the interest in the first six months is given below:

Interest=($274149-$44617)*8%

             =$18362.56

Please note that interest is charged after lease payment as lease payment is made in advance not in arrears.

Conclusively, the increase in earnings is $118149+$18362.56

That is $136511.56
