Answer:
Gross pay:
- consultant $4,000
- computer programmer $3,300
- administrator $2,800
Net pay:
- consultant $2,767.98
- computer programmer $2,295.48

Explanation:
regular earnings overtime withholding
allowances
Consultant $4,000 per week N/A 2
Computer programmer $60 per hour 1.5 1
Administrator $50 per hour 2 2
computer programmer worked 50 hours = ($60 x 40) + ($60 x 10 x 1.5) = $3,300
administrator worked 48 hours = ($50 x 40) + ($50 x 8 x 2) = $2,800
Social security taxes:
-
Consultant = 6% x $4,000 = $240
- Computer programmer = 6% x $3,300 = $198
- Administrator = 6% x $2,800 = $168
Medicare taxes:
- Consultant = 1.5% x $4,000 = $60
- Computer programmer = 1.5% x $3,300 = $49.50
- Administrator = 1.5% x $2,800 = $42
Federal income taxes:
- Consultant: amount subject to withholding = $4,000 - (2 x $75) = $3,850. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,850 - $1,796) = $932.02
- Computer programmer = amount subject to withholding = $3,300 - (1 x $75) = $3,225. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,225 - $1,796) = $757.02
- Administrator = amount subject to withholding = $2,800 - (2 x $75) = $2,650. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($2,650 - $1,796) = $596.02
Gross pay:
- consultant $4,000
- computer programmer $3,300
- administrator $2,800
Net pay:
- consultant $4,000 - ($240 + $60 + $932.02) = $2,767.98
- computer programmer $3,300 - ($198 + $49.50 + $757.02) = $2,295.48
- administrator $2,800 - ($168 + $42 + $596.02) = $1,993.98
B.when you take a loan out for something the faster you pay it off the less interest you have to pay
In the case of the scenario given above, the most appropriate action to take is to THANK THE TAX PAYER AND EXPLAIN THAT YOU CAN NOT ACCEPT ANY PAYMENT FOR YOUR SERVICES.
The principal mission of VITA/TCE [Volunteer Income Tax Assistant /Tax Counselling for the Elderly] is to assist tax payers in filling tax forms correctly without collecting any money from them. Thus, it is part of the standard of the program that volunteers should never accept any form of payment or solicit for donations in return for the services that they render.
