Based on the information in problem 2, calculate and record the employers payroll taxes for the period in the general journal below. The state employment tax rate is 5.4 percent, and the federal unemployment tax rate is 0.8 percent.
Use (a) the percentage method and (b) the wage-bracket method to compute the federal income taxes to withhold from the wages or salaries of each employee. Enter all amounts as positive numbers. Round your calculations and final answers to the nearest cent.
Use the 2020 Federal income taxes tables for the percentage method table and the wage bracket method table
