Answer: $10,800
Explanation:
In the above scenario it is worthy of note that the company is the one that pays for Federal and State Unemployment tax.
That means that the employees pay for Federal income tax withheld at $4,000, Social security at 6% and Medicare at 1.5%.
Calculating salaries payable therefore would be,
= 16,000 - 4,000 - (16,000 * 6%) - (16,000 * 1.5%)
= $10,800
Salaries Payable would be recorded at $10,800.
