Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Let's first sort out the data given:

Salaries:

Sales Salaries = $540,000

Warehouse salaries = 155,000

Office salaries = 85,000

Total Salaries = $780,000

Deductions:

Income tax withheld = $160,000

U.S. savings bonds  = 10,500

Group insurance = 9,000

Total Deductions = 179,500

Tax Rates Assumed:

Social Security = 6%

Medicare = 1.5%

State unemployment (employer only) = 5.4%

Federal unemployment (employer only) = 0.8%

The above data is now fully sorted out. Now, we can easily solve the required questions.

1. a)

Dated = Dec. 30:

Debit Amounts:

Sales Salaries Expense = $ 540,000

Warehouse Salaries Expense =  

$ 155,000

Office Salaries Expense = $ 85,000

Total Debit Amounts = $ 540,000 + $ 155,000  + $ 85,000 = $780,000

Total Debit Amounts =  $780,000

Credit Amounts:

Employees Income Tax Payable = $ 160,000

Social Security Tax Payable ($780,000 * 6%) = $ 46,800

Medicare Tax Payable ($780,000 * 1.5%) = $ 11,700

Bond Deductions Payable = $ 10,500

Group Insurance Payable =  

$ 9,000

Salaries Payable = $ 542,000

Total Credit Amounts = $ 160,000  + $ 46,800  +  $ 11,700  + $ 10,500  + $ 9,000 + $ 542,000  

Total Credit Amounts  = $780,000

1. b)

Dated = Dec. 30:

Debit Amounts:

Payroll Tax Expense = $ 61,476

Total Debit Amount = $ 61,476  

Credit Amounts:  

Social Security Tax Payable =  $ 46,800  

Medicare Tax Payable = $ 11,700

State Unemployment Tax Payable ($48,000*5.4%) = $ 2,592  

Federal Unemployment Tax Payable ($48,000 * 0.8%) = $ 384

Total = $ 46,800 + $ 11,700 + $ 2,592+ $ 384

Total Credit Amounts = $61,476  

2.a)

Dated = Dec. 30:

Debit Amounts:

Sales Salaries Expense = $ 540,000

Warehouse Salaries Expense = $ 155,000

Office Salaries Expense = $ 85,000

Employees Income Tax Payable = $ 160,000

Social Security Tax Payable ($780,000 * 6%) = $ 46,800

Medicare Tax Payable ($780,000 * 1.5%) =  $ 11,700

Bond Deductions Payable = $ 10,500

Group Insurance Payable =  $ 9,000  

Salaries Payable = $ 542,000

Total Credit Amounts = $ 160,000  + $ 46,800  +  $ 11,700 + $ 10,500  +  $ 9,000  + $ 542,000

Total Credit Amounts = $780,000

Payroll Tax Expense = $ 106,860

Total Debit Amounts = $ 106,860

State Unemployment Tax Payable ($780,000*5.4%) = $ 42,120

Federal Unemployment Tax Payable ($780,000 * 0.8%) = $ 6,240

Total Credit Amounts = $ 46,800  +  $ 11,700  +  $ 42,120  + $ 6,240

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

c. a long-term investment.

A long-term investment is an asset that a business tends to keep for more than one year.  An investor or business that acquires a long-term investment has no intention of selling in the short or medium term. Some long-term investments will never be sold.

The land will be recorded as a long term investment. It qualifies an asset because it will be used in the production of other goods, thereby generating income for the business. The land will be used after five years; hence it's a long term investment.
