    (C) debit to Payroll Tax Expense for $1,148

    Explanation:

    "employer's payroll taxes" This means we are asked for the entry of the employer, not the employee.

    The employer will contribute the same amount for FICA (medicare and social security) FUTA and SUTA

    so the entry will be:

    payroll tax expense debit 1148

    FICA taxes payable credit 900

    FUTA payable credit 32

    SUTA payable credit 216
