Answer:

Amount paid in;

Bonuses to employees = $5,150

State tax = $5,150

Federal tax = $41,200

Explanation:

The bonus paid to employees, federal tax and state tax are all a percentage of the profit made by the company.

The amount of each of these elements may be computed by applying the applicable percentage on the profit made by the company before any of these deductions.

amounts paid in;

bonuses =  5% * $103,000

= $5,150

state tax  =  5% * $103,000

= $5,150

and

federal tax =  40% * $103,000

= $41,200
