Answer 1

Robin will pay $72.21 for state unemployment and $7.47 for federal unemployment at the end of the first quarter.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the unemployment taxes Robin will pay at the end of the first quarter, we need to first calculate the total wages paid to the three workers.

Total wages paid = 180 + 450 + 615

= 1245

Now, we can calculate the state unemployment tax:

State unemployment tax = Total wages paid × State unemployment rate

State unemployment tax = 1245 × 0.058

= 72.21

Similarly, we can calculate the federal unemployment tax:

Federal unemployment tax = Total wages paid × Federal unemployment rate

Federal unemployment tax = 1245 × 0.006

= 7.47

Therefore, Robin will pay $72.21 for state unemployment and $7.47 for federal unemployment at the end of the first quarter.
