The payroll of YellowCard Company for September 2013 is as follows.

Total payroll was $464,000, of which $118,000 is exempt from Social Security tax because it represented amounts paid in excess of $128,400 to certain employees. The amount paid to employees in excess of $7,000 (the maximum for both federal and state unemployment tax) was $418,000. Income taxes in the amount of $86,000 were withheld, as was $8,500 in union dues. The state unemployment tax is 3.5%, but Sandhill Company is allowed a credit of 2.3% by the state for its unemployment experience. Also, assume that the current FICA tax is 7.65% on an employee’s wages to $128,400 and 1.45% in excess of $128,400. No employee for Sandhill makes more than $135,000. The federal unemployment tax rate is 0.8% after state credit.

Required:
Prepare the necessary journal entries if:

a. The wages and salaries paid.
b. The employer payroll taxes are recorded separately.

Answer:

a. FICA tax is 7.65% on an employee’s wages to $128,400 and 1.45% in excess of $128,400.

FICA Tax payable = [(464,000 - 118,000) * 7.65%] + (118,000 * 1.45%)

= $‭28,180‬

DR Wages and Expenses                              $464,000

CR Withholding Taxes Payable                                      $86,000

     FICA Tax                                                                     $28,180

     Union Dues                                                                 $8,500

     Cash                                                                            $‭341,320‬

b. The amount paid to employees in excess of $7,000 (the maximum for both federal and state unemployment tax) was $418,000.

Federal Unemployment Tax = (464,000 - 418,000) * 0.8% = $368

State Unemployment tax = (464,000 - 418,000) * (3.5% - 2.3%) = $552

DR Payroll Tax expense                                  $‭29,100‬

CR FICA Tax Payable                                                         $28,180

     Federal Unemployment Tax                                        $368

     State Unemployment Tax                                            $552

You have been asked to estimate the beta for a large South Korean company, with large holdings in steel and financial services. A regression of stock returns against the local market index yields a beta of 1.10, but the firm is 15% of the index. You have collected the average betas for global companies in each of the sectors, as well as the average debt equity ratios in each sector:
Setor Average Regression Beta Average D/E ratio
Steel 1.18 30%
Financial
Services 1.14 70%
The average tax rate for these industries is 40%.
In the most recent period, the company you are analyzing earned 70% of its operating income from steel and 30% from financial services. The firm also had a debt/equity ratio of 150%, and a tax rate of 30%. Estimate the levered beta for the company.
