    d.$9,203

    Explanation:

    31,500 x 0.8% FUTA = 252

    31,500 x 5.4% SUTA = 1,701

    Then for medicare and social security the employeer contributes the same amount as the employees.

    Employeer payroll taxes:

    5,800 Social Security +

    1,450 medicare +

    252 FUTA +

    1,701 SUTA

    Total: 9,203
