Kresloff Company has only two employees and is located in a state that has set an unemployment tax for the company of 4.8 percent on the first $12,000 of each employee's earnings. Both employees are paid the same amount each week (5900) and have earned $11,500 up to this week's pay. The unemployment taxes that the company must pay for this week's pay would be $48. FUTA tax (both over $7,000) = $0.00 SUTA tax ($1,000 > 0.048) = $48.00 ($500 of each employee's pay is under the state taxable limit of $12,000) Qwan Company's payroll for the year is $737,910. Of this amount, $472,120 is for wages paid in excess of $7,000 to each individual employee. The SUTA rate in Qwan Company's state is 2.9% on the first $7,000 of each employee's earnings.
