Paper For Above instruction
The task involves creating a comprehensive financial plan by completing a Budget for Expenses worksheet and a Payroll Worksheet based on provided data. The expenses include several monthly and one-time fees associated with business operations, such as advertising, licensing, office supplies, professional fees, rent, subscriptions, telephone, and website expenses. The one-time fees are due in July, requiring specific focus on that period. Additionally, the task involves accounting for payroll, including calculating gross pay, payroll taxes (FICA Social Security and Medicare), federal income tax withholding, and net pay for a part-time employee starting July 1st at 15 hours per week at $14/hour.
Furthermore, the task requires preparing journal entries for July's payroll and employer payroll taxes, as well as recording payroll liabilities for August. These entries should reflect the proper accounting entries associated with payroll processing and tax liabilities, ensuring accurate financial reporting for the business.
To accomplish this, the student must gather all relevant data, complete the worksheet sections highlighted in yellow as specified, and perform payroll calculations based on the employee's hourly wage and tax rates. The calculations should include determining gross pay, FICA taxes, federal withholding, and net pay. The journal entries should include the employee's payroll expense, corresponding liabilities such as payroll taxes payable, and employer tax expenses.
These activities are essential for understanding business expenses, payroll processing, tax obligations, and maintaining accurate financial records, which are vital skills for effective financial management in a small business or entrepreneurial setting.
