Explanation:

1.Computation for the total salary expense, the total withholdings from employee salaries, and the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January.

Computation for the total salary expense

Total salary expense= 100 employees x 40 Hours x $ 19 per Hour

Total salary expense=$76,000

($ 76,000 x 15% )

State income tax $3,800

($ 76,000 x 5% )

FICA taxes

($ 76,000 x 7.65% )$5,814

Total withholdings$21,014

($11,400+$3,800+$5,814)

Computation for the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January

Actual direct deposit= $ 76,000 -$21,014 )Actual direct deposit=$54,986

Therefore Total salary expense will be $76,000,

Total withholdingswill be $21,014 and Actual direct deposit will be $54,986

2. Computation for the total payroll tax expense Aspen Ski Resorts will pay for the first week of January
