Answer 1

Answer:

To calculate the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) taxes that the employer must pay we have to multiply Aaron's salary times FUTA tax rate:

$24,900 x 0.6% = $149.40

To calculate the State Unemployment Tax Act (SUTA) taxes that the employer must pay we have to multiply Aaron's salary times SUTA tax rate:

$9,900 x 4.7% = $465.30
