    b.$5,708.

    Explanation:

    The computation of the actual direct deposit of payroll is shown below:

    = Total salary expense - Total salary expense * Federal income tax rate - Total salary expense * state income tax rate - Total salary expense * FICA tax rate

    = $8,000 - $8,000 * 15% - $8,000 * 6% - $8,000 * 7.65%

    = $8,000 - $1,200 - $480 - $612

    = $5,708

    The total salary expense is computed below:

    = 10 employees * 40 hours * $20

    = $8,000
