a) Net FUTA tax for the partnership for this year

b) SUTA tax for this year

Expert Answer

 

Solution:

SUTA Tax

Employee earn per year = 9,000

SUTA Rate = 2.95%

Caluculation:

9,000 * 0.0295

= 265.5

Each employes suta is 265.5

8 Employee SUTA is 265.5 * 8

= 2,124

OR

7,000 * 0.0295

206.5

206.5 * 8

=1,652

Caluculation of FUTA Tax:

Employee Earn per year = 9,000

Rate = 0.295

= 9,000 * 0.0295

=265.5

Owed money for both SUTA and FUTA

265.5 – 200

=65.5

Remianing 7 Employees 265.5 * 7

1,858.5 + 65.5

=1,924

OR

= 65.5 * 8

= 524
