Answer:

A. $6,200

Explanation:

We multiply the taxable wages by the tax rate of each tax.

FICA                      80,000 x 7% = 5,600

Unemployment    20,000 x 3% =    600

This will be share of Cado in the payroll taxes. 6,200

The total taxes, would include the employee FICA. but we aren't asked for that. Just for the employee
