Answer: $5,708

Explanation:

Unemployment taxes are not charged to the employees so the actual payroll payment will be the gross pay less the federal, state and FICA taxes.

= Gross Pay - Federal Income tax - State Income tax - FICA taxes

Gross Pay = 10 * 40 * 20

= $8,000

Federal Income tax = (8,000 * 15%) = $1,200

State Income tax = 8,000 * 6% = $480

FICA = 8,000 * 7.65% = $612

Actual Payroll;

= 8,000 - 1,200 - 480 - 612

= $5,708
