Question:
Tony Garcia opened a small motorcycle repair shop, Garcia Cycle Repair, on January 2, 2009. The shop also sells a limited number of motorcycle parts. In January 2010, Garcia realized he had never filed any tax reports for his business and therefore probably owes a considerable amount of taxes. Since he has limited experience in running a business, he has brought you all his business records, including a checkbook, canceled checks, deposit slips, suppliers’ invoices, a notice of annual property taxes of $2,310 due to the city, and a promissory note to his father-in-law for $2,500. He wants you to determine what his business owes the government and other parties. You analyze all his records and determine the following as of December 31, 2009:
Unpaid invoices for motorcycle parts $ 9,000
Parts sales (excluding sales tax) 44,270
Cost of Parts Sold...............31,125
Workers’ salaries...............18,200
Repair revenues...............60,300
Current assets...............16,300
Motorcycle parts inventory...............11,750
You learn that the company has deducted $476 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 $102,000 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 both employees earned more than $7,000. Garcia has not filed a sales tax report to the state.
