Answer 2

Answer: b. Social Security tax: $3,472.62, Medicare tax: $812.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Current tax rate for social security = 6.2%

Current tax rate for Medicare = 1.45%

Annual salary = $56010

Social security= 6.2% × $56010

= 0.062 × $56010

= $3472.62

Medicare = 1.45% × $56010

= 0.0145 × $56010

= $812.15
