Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation is shown below:

As we know that employee taxes involved the social security tax, medicare tax and the income tax

Social security tax

= Gross pay × 6.2%

= $470,000 × 6.2%

= $29,140

Medicare tax

= Gross pay × 1.45%

= $470,000 × 1.45%

= $6,815

And,

Income tax withheld = $94,000

Now payroll taxes involved social security tax, Medicare tax, Federal unemployment tax, and state unemployment tax.

Social security tax

= Gross pay × 6.2%

= $470,000 × 6.2%

= $29,140

Medicare tax

= Gross pay × 1.45%

= $470,000 × 1.45%

= $6,815

Federal unemployment tax is

= Gross pay × 0.6%

= $470,000 × 0.6%

= $2,820

State unemployment tax

= Gross pay × 5.40%

= $470,000 × 5.40%

= $25,380

2. Now the journal entries are

On January, 2018

Salaries wages expense  $470,000

       To Withholding income tax payable  $94,000

       To Social security tax payable  $29,140

       To Medicare tax payable $6,815

       to Salaries and wages payable $340,045

(being salaries and wages expense is recorded)

On Jan 2018

Payroll tax expense  $64,155

      To Social security tax payable $29,140

      To Medicare tax payable $6,815

      To Federal unemployment tax payable $2,820
