SEE EXPLANATION

Explanation:

Given the following;

Wages and salaries = $2,300,000

Employee contribution to voluntary retirement plan = $115,000

Medical insurance premiums paid by employer = $46,000

Dental insurance premiums paid by employer = $16,100

Life insurance premiums paid by employer = $8,050

Federal and state income tax withheld = $494,500

FICA tax rate = 7.65%

Federal and state unemployment tax rate = 6.20%

1.)

Salaries and Wages = $2,300,000

FICA taxes payable = 0.0765 * 2300000 = ($175,950)

Income tax withheld = ($494,500)

Employee contribution to voluntary retirement plan = ($115,000)

Salaries payable = $2300000 - $(175950 + 494500 + 115000) = $1,514,550

B.) BENEFITS

Accounts payable (Retirement plan) = $115,000

Life Insurance premium = $8,050

Medical insurance premium = $46,000

Dental insurance premium = $16,100

TOTAL BENEFIT = $(115,000 + 8050+46000+16100) = $185,150

C.) PAYROLL TAXES:

Unemployment tax payable $2,300,000 x 6.20% = $142,600

FICA tax payable 7.65% * $2,300,000 = $175,950

PAYROLL tax = $(175,950+142,600) = $318,550
