Answer:
The correct answer for the following question is $1951.
Explanation:
FICA is know as Federal insurance contribution act, which is a federal law, that requires employer to withhold three distinct taxes from the wages of the employee. They're -
1) A social security tax which is 6.2%
2) Medicare tax which is 1.45%
3) Medicare surface tax of .9%, which is to be paid by a person who has income over $200,000
As the Asteria income is $25,500, she will not pay the last medicare surface tax, but she will pay both social security tax and medicare tax.
Social security tax = $25,500 x 6.2%
= $1581
Medicare tax = $25,500 x 1.45%
= $370
So the total amount withheld from her - $1581 + $370
= $1951
