Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. The gross pay is

Straight time pay

= 40 hours × $30 per hour

= $1,200

overtime pay

= 40 hours × $30 per hour × 1.5

= $1,800

So, the total gross pay is

= $1,200 + $1,800

= $3,000

2. Now the net take home pay is

Gross pay                        $3,000

Less: deductions

Income tax withholding (20%)  -$600

Employee OASDI tax (6.2%)  -$186

Employee medicare tax (1.45%) -$43.50

Net take home pay $2,170.50

3. Now the journal entries are

Wages expense $3,000

             To Income tax payable $600

             To Employee OASDI tax payable $186

             To Employee medicare tax payable $43.50

             To wages payable $2,170.50

(Being the wages expense is recorded)

We debited the expenses as it increased the expenses and credited all liabilities it increased the liabilities  

Wages payable Dr $2,170.50

         To cash  $2,170.50

(being cash paid is recorded)

For recording this we debited the wages payable as it reduced the liabilities and credited the cash as it also reduced the current assets
