On January 31, Hale Company's payroll register showed that its employers earned $30,320 of office salaries and $82,750 of sales salaries. Withholdings from the employees' salaries include FICA Social Security taxes as the rate of 6.2%, FICA Medicare taxes at the rate of 1.45%, $16,960 of federal income taxes, $2,350 of medical insurance deductions (which represents 50% of the total cost of the employee medical insurance), and $4,210 of 401(k) retirement contribution deductions. Hale Company pays the other 50% of the employee insurance cost and matches the employee 401(k) contributions.
