    Debit Payroll expenses (p/l) $14,000

    Credit Cash account $9,169

    Credit FICA Taxes payable $1,071

    Credit Federal taxes payable $2,690

    Credit State taxes payable $840

    Credit Insurance premium payable $230

    Being entries to record payroll expenses and the deductions withheld.

    Explanation:

    The weekly payroll of $14,000 is an expense to be recognized as a debit in the income statement. The net amount of this expense after the deduction of all statutory deductions and the insurance premium is paid to the employees. The deductions where withheld (yet to be remitted to the appropriate bodies) is a liability to the company. To account for this,

    Debit Payroll/Employee expenses (with the gross amount)

    Credit Cash account (with the amount paid to employees)

    Credit Payable accounts (with the amounts withheld)

    The cash paid

    = $14,000 - $1,071 - $2,690 - $840 - $230

    = $9,169
