Answer:

The total payroll tax expenses is   $3139.5

See the prepared journal in the explanation below.

Explanation:

Before it is presented on a general journal, the calculation is done below;

1. Payroll tax expenses:

FICA Social Security taxes = 6.2% * 2300 * 10

                                             = 0.062 * 2300 * 10

                                            = $1,426

FICA Medicare taxes  =  1.45% * 2300 * 10

                                    = 0.0145 * 2300 * 10

                                    = $333.5

FUTA taxes  =  0.6% * 2300 * 10

                      = 0.006 * 2300 * 10

                    =$138

SUTA taxes = 5.4% * 2300 * 10

                    = 0.054 * 2300 *10

                    = $1242

Total payroll tax expenses = $1,426 + $333.5 + $138 + $1242

                                             = $3139.5

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

$62,100

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales price per unit = $ 40

Variable costs per​ unit:

Manufacturing = $ 23

Marketing and administrative = $ 8

Total fixed​ costs:

Manufacturing = $ 76,000  

Marketing and administrative = $24,000

Total incremental costs:

= Variable manufacturing + Variable marketing and administrative

= (6,900 × $23) + (6,900 × $8)

= $158,700 + $55,200

= $213,900

Incremental income:

= Incremental revenue - Total incremental costs

= (6,900 × $40) - $213,900

= $276,000 - $213,900

= $62,100

Therefore, the operating income increases by $62,100.
