- PR.05.09 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 5-2 Robertson Company paid wages of $515,000 for the year. Included in the payments was $250,000 paid to hourly employees over the $7,000 limit for each employee. The only employees who were not paid hourly were the president and vice president who were paid $125,000 and $90,000, respectively. Included in the wages was a payment of $2,000 to a director who only attended director meetings. Since the FUTA wage limit is $7,000 per employee, Robertson Company would pay a FUTA tax on $62,000 [$515,000 – $250,000 – $201,000 (president and vice president over the limit by $118,000 and $83,000, respectively) – $2,000 (director’s pay)].

- Knowledge Check 01Annually, Monet Corp. awards each of its employees two weeks of paid vacation, which can be carried over if not used. As of December 31, Year 1, the company determined that there are 20 vacation weeks eligible for carryover. During Year 1, compensation averaged $1,000 per week. That average compensation amount is expected to increase to $1,030 during Year 2 when that vacation time will be taken. What is the liability that should be reported for vacation pay in the company’s balance sheet prepared as of December 31, Year 1?arrow_forward4arrow_forwardFinancial Statement Violations of U.S. GAAP The following are the financial statements issued by Allen Corporation for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2019: Notes to Financial Statements: 1. Long-Term Lease. Under the terms of a 5-year, noncancelable lease for a building, Allen is obligated to make annual rental payments of 40,000 in each of the next 4 fiscal years. 2. Pension Plan. Substai1tially all employees are covered by Allens defined benefit pension plan. Pension expense is equal to the total of pension benefits accrued and paid to retired employees during the year. Because it is a defined benefit plan that is paid every year, no pension liability exists. 3. Patent. The patent had an estimated remaining life of 10 years at the time of purchase. Allens patent was purchased from Apex Corporation on January 1, 2019, for 250,000. 4. Deferred Income Tax Payable. The entire balai1ce in the Deferred Income Tax Payable account arose from tax-exempt municipal bonds that were held during the previous fiscal year, giving rise to a difference between taxable income and reported net earnings for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. The deferred liability amount was calculated on the basis of past tax rates. 5. Warrants. On January 1, 2018, one common stock warrant was issued to shareholders of record for each common share owned. An additional share of common stock is to be issued upon exercise of 10 stock warrants and receipt of an amount equal to par value. For the 6 months ended October 31, 2019, the average market value for Allens common stock was 5 per share and no warrants had yet been exercised. 6. Contingent Liability. On October 31, 2019, Allen was contingently liable for product warranties in an amount estimated to aggregate 75,000.
