EXERCISE 11-10B
S. Berry $4,400 X 7.65% = $336.60. Berry’s total gross earnings for the
year are $101,900 = ($97,500 + $4,400), which is below the
$117,000 maximum for Social Security taxes.
C. Frey ($2,500 X 6.2%) + ($4,400 X 1.45%) = $163. Frey’s total gross
earnings for the year are $118,900 ($114,500 + $4,400). Thus,
J. Jovi ($4,400 X 1.45%) = $63.80. Jovi’s gross earnings prior to this
pay exceed the maximum amount subject to Social Security
taxes. However, all of the gross earnings in the December 31
pay period are subject to Medicare taxes.
