    (a) $9,435,000

    (b) $5,230,000

    (c) 1.27 or 127%

    (d) 1.80 or 180%

    Explanation:

    (a) Big Game's total payroll - Related costs for the year:

    = wages and salaries expense + payroll taxes + workers compensation premiums + group health insurance premium + contributions to employees pension plan

    = $7,430,000 + 580,000 + 250,000 + 725,000 + 450,000

    = $9,435,000

    (b) Net amount of cash actually paid to employees:

    = wages and salaries earned - Amount withheld from the employees pay

    = $7,430,000 - $2,200,000

    = $5,230,000

    (c) Express total payroll related costs as a percentage of total wages and salaries expense:

    = Total payroll related costs : wages and salaries expense

    = $9,435,000 : $7,430,000

    = 1.27 or 127%

    (d) Express total payroll related costs as a percentage of employees take-home pay:

    = Total payroll related costs : Take home pay

    = $9,435,000 : $5,230,000

    = 1.80 or 180%
