Answer:

The gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% is $154

Explanation:

According to the given we have the following:

state income tax = 2.8 %

FICA social security tax = 6.20 %

FICA medicare tax = 1.45 %

Therefore, in order to calculate the gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% we would have to make the following calculation:

gross amount of each bonus = $100/(100 % - 25 % - 6.20 % - 1.45 % - 2.8 %)

gross amount of each bonus = $100 / 64.55 %

 gross amount of each bonus =$154

The gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% is $154
