Answer 1

To calculate Jen's mother's net pay for the period, we need to subtract the total withholding amounts from the gross pay.

1. Gross Pay: $2,031.26
2. Total Withholdings:
   • Federal Income Tax: $187.99
   • State Income Tax: $109.83
   • FICA—Social Security: $97.42
   • FICA—Medicare: $20.78
   • Health Insurance: $0.00
   • Dental: $0.00
   • Vision: $0.00
   • 401(k): $203.12

Now, we sum up all the withholding amounts:

• Total Withholding = $187.99 + $109.83 + $97.42 + $20.78 + $0 + $0 + $0 + $203.12
• Total Withholding = $619.14

Next, we calculate the net pay:

• Net Pay = Gross Pay - Total Withholding
• Net Pay = $2,031.26 - $619.14
• Net Pay = $1,412.12

Thus, Jen’s mother’s net pay for this period is $1,412.12.
