Answer:

Therefore, it is more than $8,800. So, the correct answer is B

Explanation:

In the year 2016, Social insurance tax was 7.65%

From 7.65%, 6.20% applicable for social security tax upto the income of $118,500 and 1.45% to Medicare for all the earnings.

Aggregate income = $125,000

Social security tax = $118,500 × 6.20%

= $7,347

Medicare tax = $125,000 × 1.45%

= $1,812.5

Total Social insurance tax = Social security tax + Medicare tax

= $7,347 + $1,812.5

= $9,159.50

Therefore, it is more than $8,800. So, the correct option is B
