Answer 1

Answer:

salary and wages increase by $600

Explanation:

given data

work = 40 hours

per hour cost = $15

Social Security = $37.20

Medicare $8.70

federal income tax = $58

state income tax = $10

solution

as we know that

Federal Unemployment are $4.80  and Social Security is  $37.20

Medicare =  $8.70  and state Unemployment  $24.6

so total  payable in form of salaries and wages increase $675.3 than actual pay $600

and when salary is paid by company it is for expenditure

and salary and wage payable account is debited

so cash account and state and federal tax payable is credit

so that entry record increase the expenditure

so salary and wages increase by $600
