Explanation of Solution

Federal unemployment tax act (FUTA): This is the act that enables the federal government to provide compensation to the unemployed people from the taxes collected from the employers, as a percentage of 6.0% on the first $7,000 of employees’ earnings. Federal government refunds the employers with 5.4% on FUTA, if the employers have paid SUTA.

So, FUTA would be reduced to 0.6% for those employers.

Calculate the Company G’s FUTA and SUTA tax for the year 2019.
