You are looking at a one-year loan of $16,500. The interest rate is quoted as 8.7 percent plus two points. A point on a loan is 1 percent (one percentage point) of the loan amount. Quotes similar to this one are common with home mortgages. The interest rate quotation in this example requires the borrower to pay two points to the lender up front and repay the loan later with 8.7 percent interest.

Since the SUTA rates changes are made at the end of each year, the available 2019 rates were used for FUTA and SUTA.

Note: For this textbook edition the rate 0.6% was used for the FUTA tax rate for employers.

Example 5-5

Sutcliffe Company had taxable wages totaling $87,500. During the year, the company paid some of its state contributions after the January 31 cutoff of the following year. The penalty for tardiness is shown in the following calculation of the firm's net FUTA tax:

Amount of gross FUTA tax ($87,500 × 6.0%) $5,250.00
State taxable wages $87,500
Sutcliffe's SUTA tax rate × 5.4%
Sutcliffe's SUTA tax $  4,725
Breakdown of Sutcliffe's SUTA tax payments:
Before 1/31 cutoff—$3,000 × 100% credit (3,000.00)
After 1/31 cutoff—$1,725 × 90% credit (1,552.50)
Amount of net FUTA tax $    697.50
If the company had made timely payments of its state contributions, the amount of its net FUTA tax would have been reduced to $525, for a savings of $172.50, as follows:
Amount of gross FUTA tax ($87,500 × 6.0%) $5,250.00
Total taxable wages $87,500
Credit against tax × 5.4%
Total credit 4,725.00
Amount of net FUTA tax ($87,500 × 0.6%) $   525.00
$697.50 − $525.00 = $172.50 savings

Example 5-6

Yeldon Company has a $70,000 federal and state taxable payroll and has earned a reduced state tax rate of 4 percent. If none of its state tax payments are timely, the FUTA tax calculation is as follows:

Gross FUTA tax ($70,000 × 0.060) $4,200
Less 90% credit for state taxes paid late ($70,000 × 0.04 × 90%) $2,520
Less additional credit for state tax if rate were 5.4% [$70,000 × (0.054 − 0.04)] 980
Total credit 3,500
Net FUTA tax $  700

If Yeldon Company had made its SUTA payments before the due date of Form 940, the credit for the payments (4%) and the additional credit (1.4%) would have provided a total credit of $3,780 and a FUTA tax savings of $280.

Peroni Company paid wages of $170,500 this year. Of this amount, $124,000 was taxable for net FUTA and SUTA purposes. The state's contribution tax rate is 3.1% for Peroni Company. Due to cash flow problems, the company did not make any SUTA payments until after the Form 940 filing date. Compute the following; round your answers to the nearest cent.

a. Amount of credit the company would receive against the FUTA tax for its SUTA contributions
$__________

b. Amount that Peroni Company would pay to the federal government for its FUTA tax
$________

c. Amount that the company lost because of its late payments

  1. Since the SUTA rates changes are made at the end of each year, the available 2019 rates were used for FUTA and SUTA.

    Note: For this textbook edition the rate 0.6% was used for the net FUTA tax rate for employers.

    Example 5-10

    Karlson Software Company is located in State H, which enables employers to reduce their contribution rates under the experience-rating system. From 2006 to 2015, inclusive, the company's total contributions to state unemployment compensation amounted to $14,695. For the calendar years 2016 to 2019, inclusive, the contribution rate for Karlson was 2.7%.

    The contributions of each employer are credited to an account maintained by the State Unemployment Compensation Commission. This account is credited with contributions paid into the account by the employer and is charged with unemployment benefits that are paid from the account. Starting January 1, 2020, the contributions rate for all employers in State H will be based on the following tax rate schedule:

    Reserve Ratio Contribution Rate
    Contributions falling below benefits paid 7.0%
    0.0% to 7.9% 5.5%
    8.0% to 9.9% 4.5%
    10.0% to 11.9% 3.5%
    12.0% to 14.9% 2.5%
    15.0% or more 1.5%

    The annual payroll for calculation purposes is the total wages payable during a 12-month period ending with the last day of the third quarter of any calendar year. The average annual payroll is the average of the last three annual payrolls. The SUTA tax rate for the year is computed using the information available (benefits received and taxes paid) as of September 30 of the preceding year.

    The schedule below shows the total payroll and the taxable payroll for the calendar years 2016 to 2019.

    Calendar Year
    2016 2017 2018 2019
    Total Payroll Taxable Payroll Total Payroll Taxable Payroll Total Payroll Taxable Payroll Total Payroll Taxable Payroll
    First Quarter $12,000 $12,000 $11,000 $11,000 $13,000 $13,000 $10,000 $10,000
    Second Quarter 11,750 11,750 11,500 11,400 12,750 12,700 9,300 9,300
    Third Quarter 12,500 12,250 12,750 12,400 12,200 12,000 9,350 9,350
    Fourth Quarter 13,000 12,500 12,500 12,200 14,000 13,750

    Unemployment benefits became payable to the company's qualified unemployed workers on January 1, 2006. Between that time and September 30, 2019, total benefits amounting to $15,100.90 were charged against the employer's account. Compute:

    In your computations, round amounts to the nearest cent. Round your final percentage answers to one decimal place.
