a. Gross amount of each bonus = $309.84

b. Net amount of each bonus = $129.10

Explanation:

Since the supplemental tax percent is used, the following are the relevant tax rates to be applied in the calculations:

STP = Supplemental tax percent = 25%

FICASO = Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) social security tax = 6.2%

FICAM = Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) Medicare tax = 1.45%.

SIT = State income tax = 2.8%

We therefore proceed as follows:

a. What will be the gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% (besides the other payroll taxes)? You may need to add one penny to the gross so that net bonus exactly equals $200. Round your calculations and final answers to the nearest cent.

Given the tax rates above, the following formula is used to calculate the gross amount of each bonus:

Gross amount of each bonus = Holiday bonus amount / (100% - STP - FICASO - FICAM - SIT) …… (1)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Gross amount of each bonus = $200/ (100% - 25% - 6.20% - 1.45% - 2.8%)

Gross amount of each bonus = $200 / 64.55%

Gross amount of each bonus = $309.837335398916

To the nearest cent which implies to two decimal places, we have:

Gross amount of each bonus = $309.84

b. What would the net amount of each bonus check be if the company did not gross-up the bonus? Round your intermediary calculations to the nearest cent.

The net amount of each bonus can be calculated using the following formula:

Net amount of each bonus = Holiday bonus amount * (100% - STP - FICASO - FICAM - SIT) …… (2)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (2), we have:

Net amount of each bonus = $200 * (100% - 25% - 6.20% - 1.45% - 2.8%)

Net amount of each bonus = $200 * 64.55%

Net amount of each bonus = $129.10
