a. One-half is withheld from the employee and the other half is paid by the employer.

b. The entire amount of Social Security is paid by the employee and the employer pays the Medicare portion.

c. The entire amount of Medicare is paid by the employee and the employer pays the Social Security portion.

d. Both portions are paid by the employer and thus never withheld from an employee’s pay.
