Answer 1

Answer:

the actual direct deposit payroll is $12,843

Explanation:

The computation of the actual direct deposit payroll is shown below;

= (15 × 40 × $30) - Federal income tax - state income tax - FICA tax

= $18,000 - ($18,000 × 0.15) - ($18,000 × 0.06) - ($18,000 × 7.65%)

= $12,843

Hence, the actual direct deposit payroll is $12,843
