Answer 1

1. Overtime= $1,000

2. Gross Pay= $10,000

3. State Income Taxes = $400

4. Total Deductions= $2,483

5/ Salaries and wages expenses = $10,000 (Gross Pay)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says to find the following:

1. Overtime

2. Total

3. State Income Taxes

4. Total Deductions

5. Salaries and Wages Expense

1. Overtime

Overtime is derived after calculating the total Gross Pay (2nd question)

Total Gross Pay= Regular + Overtime

$10,000= $9,000 + Overtime

Therefore, Overtime = $10,000-$9,000

Overtime= $1,000

2. Total Gross Pay (this should be treated before the 1st which is overtime)

= Gross Pay =

= calculated as FICA tax expense /the percentage of FICA taxes

FICA tax expense = $765

% of FICA taxes = 7.65

Gross Pay= $765 / 7.65% (0.0765)

= $10,000

3. State Income Tax

The state Income Taxes is derived as follows

Gross Pay x the given percentage (4%)

State Income taxes = $10,000 x 0.04

State Income taxes = $400

4. Calculate the total deductions

Total Deductions are the sum of the following

FICA taxes + federal Income taxes + State Income taxes + Union dues

= $765+ $1,128+$400+$190

= $2,483

5. Salaries and Wages Expense

The answer to this is simply the derived total gross pay (regular + overtime) Calculated in step 2

Gross pay= salaries and wages expense= $10,000
