Answer:

Payroll Taxes expenses                      $79.80

Federal unemployment tax payable    $42.00               [ $7,000 × 0.60 ]

State Unemployment tax payable       $37.80               [ $7,000 × 5.4% ]

FUTA = 0.6% on the first $7,000 of annual earnings

SUTA = 5.4% on the first $7,000 of annual earnings
