The payroll of Whispering Company for September 2016 is as follows. Total payroll was $486,000, of which $122,000 is exempt from Social Security tax because it represented amounts paid in excess of $118,500 to certain employees. The amount paid to employees in excess of $7,000 was $414,000. Income taxes in the amount of $85,000 were withheld, as was $8,800 in union dues. The state unemployment tax is 3.5%, but Whispering Company is allowed a credit of 2.3% by the state for its unemployment experience. Also, assume that the current FICA tax is 7.65% on an employees wages to $118,500 and 1.45% in excess of $118,500. No employee for Whispering makes more than $125,000. The federal unemployment tax rate is 0.8% after state credit. Prepare the necessary journal entries if the wages and salaries paid and the employer payroll taxes are recorded separately.
