Answer: Option (a) 285.60 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Earning while working in state A = $6,800

and Woolson company's tax rate in state A = 4.2%

Hence,

John will have to pay tax on $6800 at a rate of 4.2%


(4.2)/(100) * 6800

= 285.60 ⇒ This is the SUTA tax that the company paid to State A.

Therefore, Option (a) is correct.
