Computations –

FICA payroll taxes payable = $1,800 x 10 employees x 6.2% = $1,116

FICA Medicare taxes payable = $1,800 x 10 employees x 1.45% = $261

Federal unemployment taxes payable = $1,800 x 10 employees x 0.6% = $108

State unemployment taxes payable = $1,800 x 10 employees x 5.4% = $972

Payroll taxes expense = 1,116 + 261 + 108 + 972 = $2,457
