1. Compute the amount to be withheld from each employee's earnings on October 11 for (a) FICA—OASDI, (b) FICA—HI, and (c) SUTA, and determine the total employee taxes.

2. Record the portion of each employee's earnings that is taxable under FICA, FUTA, and SUTA, and calculate the total employer's payroll taxes on the October 11 payroll.
