Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of an employer's payroll taxes is shown below:-

Employer's payroll taxes =  Social Security tax payable + Medicare tax payable + State Unemployment tax payable + Federal Unemployment tax payable

= ($560,000 × 6%) + ($560,000 × 1.5%) + ($60,000 × 0.6%) + ($60,000 × 0.6%)

= $33,600 + $8,400 + $3,240 + $360

= $45,600

Payroll tax expense $ Dr, $45,600    -

     To Medicare tax payable $8,400

     To State Unemployment tax payable $3,240
