Transcribed Image Text:3: An employer in the U.S. Virgin Islands, employs two individuals, whose taxable earnings to date (prior to the current pay period) are $1,420 and $32,100. During the
current pay period, these employees earn $3,350 and $1,700, respectively. The applicable SUTA tax rate is 4%, and the U.S. Virgin Islands SUTA threshold is $32,500.
FUTA tax = $

SUTA tax = $
202.00
4: An employer in Durham, North Carolina, employs three individuals, whose taxable earnings to date (prior to the current pay period) are $6,000, $22,600, and $35,800.
During the current pay period, these employees earn $980, $1,600, and $1,150, respectively. The applicable SUTA tax rate is 1.2%, and the North Carolina SUTA
threshold is $26,000.
FUTA tax = $
SUTA tax = $
FUTA rate = 0.6% on first 7000 of an Employee's salary
SUTA rate = 2.1%. Threshold = $ 16500
Answer 1)
FUTA Tax = $ 1450 * 0.6% = $ 8.7
Note:
FUTA is not applicable on the other individual as its annual income is more than $ 7000.
SUTA Tax = ($ 1450 + $ 2000 ) * 2.1% = $ 72.45
Note:
Since , the annual income ( $ 6100 + $ 8800 = $ 14900 ) is less than the threshold , the SUTA tax is
applicable on both the individuals.
