Employee’s Wage and Tax Statement Assignment Help With Solution

Employee’s Wage and Tax Statement Assignment Help

 
1.Ehrlich Co. began business on January 2, 2015. Salaries were paid to employees on the last day of each month, and social security tax, Medicare tax, and federal income tax were withheld in the required amounts. An employee who is hired in the middle of the month receives half the monthly salary for that month. All required payroll tax reports were filed, and the correct amount of payroll taxes was remitted by the company for the calendar year. Early in 2016, before the Wage and Tax Statements (Form W-2) could be prepared for distribution to employees and for filing with the Social Security Administration, the employees’ earnings records were inadvertently destroyed.
 
None of the employees resigned or were discharged during the year, and there were no changes in salary rates. The social security tax was withheld at the rate of 6.0% and Medicare tax at the rate of 1.5%. Data on dates of employment, salary rates, and employees’ income taxes withheld, which are summarized as follows, were obtained from personnel records and payroll records:
 

Employee Date First Employed Monthly Salary Monthly Income Tax Withheld

Nicks Feb. 1 10,000 2,350
Shiancoe Mar. 1 11,600 2,600
Ward Nov. 16 5,220 876

 
Required:
 
Calculate the amounts to be reported on each employee’s Wage and Tax Statement (Form W-2) for 2015. Enter amounts to the nearest cent if required. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

Case Approach

Scientific Methodology

We use best scientific approach to solve case study as recommended and designed by best professors and experts in the World. The approach followed by our experts are given below:

Defining Problem

The first step in solving any case study analysis is to define its problem carefully. In order to do this step, our experts read the case two three times so as to define problem carefully and accurately. This step acts as a base and help in building the structure in next steps.

Structure Definition

The second step is to define structure to solve the case. Different cases has different requirements and so as the structure. Our experts understand this and follow student;s university guidelines to come out with best structure so that student will receive best mark for the same.

Research and Analysis

This is the most important step which actually defines the strength of any case analysis. In order to provide best case analysis, our experts not only refer case materials but also outside materials if required to come out with best analysis for the case.

Conclusion & Recommendations

A weak conclusion or recommendations spoil the entire case analysis. Our expert know this and always provide good chunks of volume for this part so that instructors will see the effort put by students in arriving at solution so as to provide best mark.

3.Laramie Lumber produces picnic tables, swings, and benches and uses direct labor hours to apply overhead .Standard hours allowed for each product are as follows:
 

Picnic table: 10 standard direct labor hours
Swing: 3 standard direct labor hours
Bench: 12 standard direct labor hours

 
The standard variable overhead rate is $4 per direct labor hour; the standard fixed overhead application rate at expected annual capacity is $2 per direct labor hour.
