PSb 3-2 Calculate Gross Pay & Taxable Pay

For each employee, first calculate gross pay. Then determine taxable income used to calculate federal income tax withholding, Social Security tax, and Medicare tax. NOTE: For simplicity, all calculations throughout this exercise, both intermediate and final, should be rounded to two decimal places at each calculation.

1:An employee works 42 hours (42 - 40 were overtime hours) during a workweek in December of 2021. He earns $40.50/hour, with his employer paying 1.5 times the regular rate of pay for overtime hours. To date, he has earned $142,200 during the year. He has requested that his employer withhold 7% of gross pay, which is to be contributed to a 403(b) plan. Taxable income for federal income tax withholding = $ Taxable income for social security tax = $ Taxable income for medicare tax = $

2:An employee works 37 regular hours during a workweek in August of 2021. He was hired four years ago, earns a salary of $140,200/year, and is exempt from the overtime provisions of the FLSA. To date, he has received no compensation beyond his annual salary. He has requested that his employer withhold 8% of gross pay, which is to be contributed to a 401(k) plan. Taxable income for federal income tax withholding = $ Taxable income for social security tax = $ Taxable income for medicare tax = $
