FICA taxes are 7.65% and unemployment taxes are 3.8% of the first $7,000 earned per employee. What is the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January
Answer:
$5,708
Explanation:
Computation of the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January

Federal income tax rate ($1,200)
($8,000*15%)
State income tax rate ($480)
($8,000*6%)
FICA tax rate ($612)
($8,000*7.65%)
Actual direct deposit $5,708
Therefore the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January will be $5,708
