Your answer is partially correct.

The payroll of Ayayai Company for September $2025$ is as follows.

Total payroll was $$458,000,$ of which $$112,000$ is exempt from Social Security tax because it represented amounts paid in excess of $$142,800$ to certain employees. The amount paid to employees in excess of $$7,000($the maximum for both federal and state unemployment taxes$)$ was $$416,000.$ Income taxes in the amount of $$84,100$ were withheld, as was $$9,200$ in union dues. The state unemployment tax is $3\mathrm{.}5\%,$ but Ayayai Company is allowed a credit of $2\mathrm{.}3\%$ by the state for its unemployment experience. Also, assume that the current FICA tax is $7\mathrm{.}65\%$ on an employee's wages to $$142,800$ and $1\mathrm{.}45\%$ in excess of $$142,800.$ The federat unemployment tax rate is $0\mathrm{.}8\%$ after state credit.
