a. Ewa and Gomer only.
b. Ewa, Financial, and Gomer.
c. Financial only.
d. none of these parties.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) Financial Accounting Inc. only

Step-by-step explanation:

Unemployment compensation, or unemployment benefits, are funded by employers, in this case, Financial Accounting Inc.

Employers pay a specific type of payroll tax named Federal Unemployment Act Tax (FUTA). This tax is paid at a rate of 0.6% of an employee compensation (iin this case, Ewa). While Ewa might bear some economic cost from thsi tax, for example, in the form of lower ages, he his not formally paying any tax, therefore, all the cost of the unemployment compensation Gomer is receiving is being born by the company.
