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
