Transcribed Image Text:Since the SUTA rates changes are made at the end of each year, the available 2019 rates were used for FUTA and SUTA.
Note: For this textbook edition the rate 0.6% was used for the FUTA tax rate for employers.
Example 5-8
1. The Igbal Company of Georgia had a FUTA taxable payroll of $215,600 and a SUTA taxable payroll of $255,700 with a 5.6 percent SUTA tax
rate. The company would pay unemployment taxes of:
FUTA $215,600 x 0.006
$ 1,293.60
SUTA $255,700 x 0.056
14,319.20
%3D
Total taxes
$15,612.80
2. Kresloff Company has only two employees and is located in a state that has set an unemployment tax for the company of 4.8 percent on the
first $12,000 of each employee's earnings. Both employees are paid the same amount each week ($900) and have earned $11,500 up to this
week's pay. The unemployment taxes that the company must pay for this week's pay would be $48.
FUTA tax (both over $7,000) = $0.00
SUTA tax ($1,000 x 0.048) = $48.00
($500 of each employee's pay is under the state taxable limit of $12,000)
Garrison Shops had a SUTA tax rate of 3.7%. The state's taxable limit was $8,000 of each employee's earnings. For the year, Garrison Shops had FUTA taxable wages of $67,900 and SUTA taxable wages of $83,900. Compute:
