Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculation of the amounts omitted in lines (1), (3), (8), and (12):

Earnings:

1. At regular rate $365,500

2. At overtime rate 64,500

3. Total earnings 430,000

Deductions:

4. Social security tax 25,800

5. Medicare tax 6,450

6. Income tax withheld 109,700

7. Medical insurance 14,800

8. Union dues 2,250

9. Total deductions 159,000

10. Net amount paid 271,000

Accounts debited:

11. Factory Wages 227,900

12. Sales Salaries 116,100

13. Office Salaries 86,000

1. At regular rate = 3. Total earnings - 2. At overtime rate

= $430,000 - 64,500

= $365,500

3. Total earnings = 9. Total deductions + 10. Net amount paid

= $159,000 + 271,000

= $430,000

8. Union dues = 9. Total deductions - other deductions from 4 to 7.

= $159,000 - (25,800 + 6,450 + 109,700 + 14,800)

= $2,250

12. Sales Salaries = 3. Total earnings - 11. Factory Wages - 13. Office Salaries)

= (430,000 - 227,900 - 86,000)

= $116,100
