$3878.55

Explanation:

Step 1 :

It is given that Kristy has a biweekly gross earnings of $1950.

Since it is bi-weekly payments there are 26 payments in the year.

Gross earnings per year = 1950 * 26 = $50,700

Step 2 :

It is given that the social security tax is 6.2% up to $128,400. Kristy's earnings of 50,700$ does not exceed the threshold $128,400, hence 6.2% of her entire income is subject to social security withholding.

Social security withholding = 6.2% of 50,700 = 6.2*50700/100 = $3143.40

Step 3 :

It is given that Medicare tax is 1.45% with no wage limit

Medicare withholding = 1.45% of 50,700 = 1.45*50700/100 = $735.15

Total withholding = Social Security withholding + Medicare withholding 3143.40 + 735.15 = $3878.55

Unitary selling price= 500,000/100,000= $5

Operating expenses= $1

Depreciation= $20,000

New selling price= 5*1.1= $5.5

COGS rate= 0.62

<u>To calculate the net income, we need to use the following structure:</u>

Sales= 5.5*95,000= 522,500

COGS= 522,500*0.62= (323,950)

Gross profit= 198,550

Operating expenses= (95,000 + 20,000)= (115,000)

Net income= 83,550
