Question:

Daisy Luna opened a small motorcycle repair shop, Luna Cycle Repair, on January 2, 2014. The shop also sells a limited number of motorcycle parts. In January 2015, Luna realized she had never filed any tax reports for her business and therefore probably owes a considerable amount of taxes. Since she has limited experience in running a business, she has brought you all her business records, including a checkbook, canceled checks, deposit slips, suppliers’ invoices, a notice of annual property taxes of $4,620 due to the city, and a promissory note to her father-in-law for $5,000. She wants you to determine what her business owes the government and other parties (but not employees).

You analyze all her records and determine the following as of December 31, 2014:

Unpaid invoices for motorcycle parts ...... $ 18,000

Parts sales (excluding sales tax) .........88,540

Cost of parts sold ................62,250

Workers’ salaries ................20,400

Repair revenues ................ 120,600

Current assets ................32,600

Motorcycle parts inventory ...........23,500

You learn that the company has deducted $952 from the two employees’ salaries for federal income taxes owed to the government. The current Social Security tax is 6.2 percent on maximum earnings of $110,100 for each employee, and the current Medicare tax is 1.45 percent (no maximum earnings). The FUTA tax is 5.4 percent to the state and 0.8 percent to the federal government on the first $7,000 earned by each employee, and each employee earned more than $7,000. Luna has not filed a sales tax report to the state (5 percent of sales).
