Answer:
Total salary expense in week 1 = $440 x 150 = $66,000
Total deductions due to taxes = $121.66 x 150 = $18,249
Actual direct deposit of payroll in week is $66,000 minus $18,249 = $47,751
Explanation:
Number of employees = 150
Hourly wage = $11
Weekly hours worked = 40 hours
Weekly wage = 40 x 11 = $440 per employee
Taxes deduction:
Federal - 15% of gross earnings = $66
State - 5% of gross earnings = $22
FICA - 7.65% of first #128,400 = $33.66
Total deductions = $121.66
Net Earnings = $318.34
