Answer:

see below

Explanation:

Social security and medicare taxes form the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax. These taxes are deducted from both the employer and employee per paycheck.

Social security tax forms the bulk of the FICA tax. The tax revenue collected as social security tax funds the United States government Social Security Trusts. The trusts are programs managed by the Social Security administration and include

  1. Retirement benefits
  2. Survivor benefits
  3. Disability benefits

Medicare tax revenue funds Federal government medicare programs. This program caters to older American health care costs.  The government's general revenue also finances health care. Medicare or health services in the USA are not solely dependent on medicare tax.

Answer:

                                      Dr.      Cr.

July 19

Cash                            $792

Discount expense      $8

Account Receivable              $800

Explanation:

The term 1/15, n/30 mean there is a discount of 1% is available on the sales value, if payment is made within 15 days of sale with credit term of 30 days.

The sale of $900 was made on July 10 and discount period is until July 25.

On July 12 goods amounting $100 was returned and now the amount due from the customer is $800 ( $900 - $100 ).

The payment made on July 19 is actually in the discount period and it is eligible for the discount as it is made before July 25.

Discount = Amount due x Discount rate

Discount = $800 x 1% = $8

$792 Cash received against the sale made on July 10 and discount $8 is expensed. Total of $800 is credited from the account receivable account to eliminate it.
