Answer 1

Answer:$500

Explanation:

It is mandatory to deduct the social security, medicare and federal income taxes from the individuals paycheck. At first the federal income tax has to be deducted from the income. Secondly the social security has to be deducted, thirdly the state taxes have to be deducted and finally the medicare will be deducted.

Calculation of Net pay

Salary of Juanita = $12 per hr x 50hrs

=$600

Federal income tax 600 x 10%

=$60

Social security 540 x 6.2%

=$33.48

Medicare= 506.52 x 1.45%

=$7.34

So the net pay= Gross pay- deductions

=600-60-33.48-7.34

=499.17

Which is approximately $500 is the net pay.
