Answer 2

Option a. would be correct i. $343.07, ii. $1,290.50, iii $2,408.31

Explanation:

To determine the Medicare tax that would be withheld from the following wages, we calculate each wages

Medicare Tax = 1.45%

1). $23,660 :-

= 1.45% of 23,660 =
`(1.45)/(100)`× 23,660

= 0.0145 × 23,660 = $343.07

2). $89,000 :-

= 1.45% of 89,000 =
`(1.45)/(100)` × 89,000

= 0.0145 × 89,000 = $1,290.50

3). $166,090 :-

= 1.45% of 166,090 =
`(1.45)/(100)` × 166,090

= 0.0145 × 166,090 = 2,408.305 rounded to $2,408.31

Option a. would be correct i. $343.07, ii. $1,290.50, iii $2,408.31
