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
Arnett	Nov. 16	$5,500		$944
Cruz	Jan. 2	4,800		833
Edwards	Oct. 1	8,000		1,592
Harvin	Dec. 1	6,000		1,070
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.
 
 
2.North Diamond Inc. applies overhead on a direct labor hour basis. Each unit of product requires 12 machine hours. Overhead is applied on a 30 percent variable and 70 percent fixed basis; the overhead application rate is $40 per hour. Standards are based on a normal monthly capacity of 24,000 machine hours. During September 2001, North Diamond produced 2,300 units of product and incurred 25,000 machine hours. Actual overhead cost for the month was $1,00,000.
 
a. What were standard hours allowed for September?
 
b. What is total annual budgeted fixed overhead cost?
 
c. What is the controllable overhead variance?
 
d. What is the noncontrollable overhead variance?
 
 

 
 
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. Expected capacity on a monthly basis is 3,000 direct labor hours. Production for June 2001 was 100 picnic tables, 400 swings, and 60 benches. Actual direct labor hours incurred were 3,020. Actual variable overhead was $11,900, and actual fixed overhead was $6,100 for the month.
 
a. Prepare a variance analysis using the four-variance approach. (Hint: Convert the production of each type of product into standard hours allowed for all work accomplished for the month.)
 
b. Calculate overhead variances using the four-variance method.).
 
c. Evaluate the effectiveness of managers in controlling costs.

5.Trico Company set the following standard unit costs for its single product.
 

Direct materials (27 Ibs. @ $3.00 per Ib.)	$	81.00
Direct labor (6 hrs. @ $6.00 per hr.)		36.00
Factory overheadA1variable (6 hrs. @ $4.00 per hr.)		24.00
Factory overheadA1fixed (6 hrs. @ $5.00 per hr.)		30.00
Total standard cost	$	171.00

 
The predetermined overhead rate is based on a planned operating volume of 50% of the productive capacity of 70,000 units per quarter. The following flexible budget information is available.
 

	Operating Levels
		40%		50%		60%
Production in units		28,000		35,000		42,000
Standard direct labor hours		168,000		210,000		252,000
Budgeted overhead
Fixed factory overhead	$	1,050,000	$	1,050,000	$	1,050,000
Variable factory overhead	$	672,000	$	840,000	$	1,008,000

 
During the current quarter, the company operated at 60% of capacity and produced 42,000 units of product; actual direct labor totaled 245,000 hours. Units produced were assigned the following standard costs:
