Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the total security and medicare tax is shown below:
Here we assume the social security and medicare tax is 12.4% and 2.9% respectively
So, first we compute the total earnings which is
= $1,020 × 13 weeks
= $13,260
Now the taxes are
= $13,260 × 12.4% + $13,260 × 2.9%
= $1,644.24 + $384.54
= $2,028.78
