Journalize the entry to record the payroll


Assignment

Question 1:

Charles Giles worked 46 hours during this pay-week. He is paid time-and-a-half for hours over 40 and his pay rate is $17.90/hour. What was his overtime premium pay for this workweek?

Use the following information to answer Questions 2, 3 & 4:

The totals from the first payroll of the year are shown below.

Total Pay = $36,195.10
FICA/OASDI = $ 2,244.10
FICA/HI = $ 524.83
FIT W/H = $ 6,515.00
State Tax W/H = $ 361.95
Union Dues = $ 500.00
Net Pay = $26,049.22

Assume the following tax rates:

1. * FICA tax-OASDI on employees: 6.2%.
2. FICA tax-HI on employees: 1.45%.
3. FIT withheld from employees.
4. FICA tax-OASDI on employers: 6.2%.
5. FICA tax-HI on employers: 1.45%.
6. Net FUTA tax: 0.6%.
7. SUTA tax: 3.7%.

Note - Correction to the Textbook - The 2% reduction on the Employee's share of the OASDI expired on December 31, 2012. So, the correct rate to apply is 6.2% for both the employee and the employer.

Question 2: Journalize the entry to record the payroll.

Question 3: Journalize the entry to record the employer's payroll taxes (assume a SUTA rate of 3.7%).

Question 4: Journalize the entry to deposit the FICA and FIT taxes.
