Youngston Company (a Massachusetts employer) wants to give a holiday bonus check of $750 to each employee. Since it wants the check amount to be $750, it will need to gross-up the amount of the bonus. Calculate the withholding taxes and the gross amount of the bonus to be made to Genna Fredrich if her earnings for the year are $55,920. Besides being subject to social security taxes and federal income tax (supplemental rate), a 5.05% Massachusetts income tax must be withheld on supplemental payments.

Answer:

Gross bonus=$1,148.54

FIT=252.68

OASDI=71.21

HI =16.65

MASS. TAX=58.00

Explanation:

Calculation for the withholding taxes and the gross amount of the bonus

Calculation for gross amount of the bonus

Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ (1- 0.22 - 0.062 - 0.0145 - 0.0505] - 0.01

Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ (0.78 - 0.062 - 0.0145 - 0.0505] - 0.01

Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ 0.653] - 0.01

Gross amount of the bonus=1,148.545-0.01

Gross amount of the bonus=$ 1,148.54

Therefore the Gross amount of the bonus will be $ 1,148.54

Calculation for the withholding taxes

FIT =1148.54 * 22%

FIT=252.68

OASDI= 1148.54 * 6.2%

OASDI=71.21

HI=1148.54 * 1.45%

HI =16.65

MASS. TAX =1148.54 * 5.05%

MASS. TAX =58.00

NET 750.00

[$1,148.54-(252.68+71.21+16.65+58.00)]

Therefore the withholding taxes are:

FIT=252.68

OASDI=71.21

HI =16.65

MASS. TAX = =58.00

The management of Krach Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity. The company's controller has provided an example to illustrate how this new system would work. In this example, the allocation base is machine-hours and the estimated amount of the allocation base for the upcoming year is 13,000 machine-hours. Capacity is 19,000 machine-hours and the actual level of activity for the year is assumed to be 9500 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and both the estimated amount at the beginning of the year and the actual amount at the end of the year are assumed to be $22,800 per year. For simplicity, it is assumed that this is the estimated manufacturing overhead for the year as well as the manufacturing overhead at capacity. It is further assumed that this is also the actual amount of manufacturing overhead for the year. If the company bases its predetermined overhead rate on capacity, what would be the cost of unused capacity reported on the income statement prepared for internal management purposes
