Based on the data provided here, you will complete the following: 2. Establish and complete the payroll register for each weekly pay period during December. When calculating federal income tax withholding, use the withholding tables where possible, and refer to the percentage method only when necessary. Note that as of December 7, Hunter Cranston requests that his federal withholding allowances increase from two to three (Ellipses Corp. makes this change). Additionally, for simplicity, calculate the state income tax withholding as 5% of each employee's taxable pay (which is the same as taxable pay for FWT). Recall that state income tax withholding would ordinarily be calculated using the applicable state's withholding tables. Payroll checks are remitted to the employees in the same order (Cranston, Harrison, Parker, Sternberg) each pay period and are written from a bank account that is used solely for these payments. The first payroll check written in December is check #762. Note that all charitable contributions are deemed to be made on the final day of each pay period. The following information will be required for the completion of these records for the two employees who are compensated via an hourly wage: Weekly Hours Worked Weekly Start Date Hunter Cranston Allison Harrison November 30 40 37 December 7 38 41 December 14 43.5 December 21 40 WARNING! The above dates are weekly start dates. Refer to a calendar to determine the weekly end dates and associated pay dates. Keep in mind that tax liability and payment amounts are determined based on the weekly pay dates.
