CRITICAL THINKING PROBLEM 11.1
1. Payroll information needed: the hourly rate paid the truck drivers; the rates for social security,
medicare, and federal and state unemployment taxes; and the employer’s obligations for workers’
compensation insurance and fringe benefits such as health insurance, pension contributions,
and group life insurance.
2. YEARLY COST—CURRENT SYSTEM
Truck Drivers:
Wages (100 × $42,000) $4,200,000
Social Security Tax ($4,200,000 × 0.062) 260,400
Medicare Tax ($4,200,000 × 0.0145) 60,900
State Unemployment Tax (100 × $7,000 × .05) 35,000
Federal Unemployment Tax (100 × $7,000 × .006) 4,200
Workers’ Compensation Insurance ($4,200,000 × $.70 ÷ 100) 29,400
Health Insurance (100 × $300 × 12) 360,000
Pensions (100 × $250 × 12) 300,000
Total Payroll Costs $5,249,900
Teenage Carriers: Payment per paper (90,000 × $0.04 × 5 days × 52 weeks) 936,000
Liability Insurance 100,000
Total Cost $6,285,900
YEARLY COST—PROPOSED SYSTEM
Truck Drivers:
Wages (20 × $42,000) $840,000
Social Security Tax ($840,000 × 0.0620) 52,080
Medicare Tax ($840,000 × 0.0145) 12,180
State Unemployment Tax (20 × $7,000 × 0.05) 7,000
Federal Unemployment Tax (20 × $7,000 × .006) 840
Workers’ Compensation Insurance ($840,000 × $0.70 ÷ 100) 5,880
Health Insurance (20 × $300 × 12) 72,000
Pensions (20 × $250 × 12) 60,000
Total Payroll Costs $1,049,980
Independent Contractor Payments (90,000 × $0.20 × 5 days × 52 weeks) 4,680,000
Total Cost $5,729,980
HARLEY would save $555,920 if the proposed system were adopted ($6,285,900-$5,729,980).
NOTE: Federal income tax withholding is not a factor in this analysis since it is the employees'
obligation, not the employer’s.
3 In addition to analyzing payroll costs, Harley should consider costs of operating the fleet of delivery trucks. What is the
current cost to operate the trucks? How much would be saved by reducing the fleet? He should also consider the effect
on employee morale of terminating 80 truck drivers and the commitments the paper has to union contracts. He should
also assess the dependability and stability of the independent contractors; it may be worthwhile to spend more in order to
have control of the paper’s distribution system through its own employees and trucks.
CRITICAL THINKING PROBLEM 11.2
1. Tony is not an employee. A self-employed person cannot be his or her own employee.
2. Guy is probably not an employee. He has the right to refuse jobs, which is not
characteristic of an employee’s rights.
3. Ken is an employee, paid on an hourly basis by Dr. Liu, who provides all facilities,
supplies, and equipment. He is not hired by the patients for professional services.
4. Lisa is not an employee. The employer does not provide a work place or tools,
or meet other conditions for her to be classified as an employee.
5. Ron is definitely a part-time employee. The titles of president, secretary,
and treasurer make him officially an employee.
Analyze: The employees are hired and work under the control and direction of the
employer. The employer determines how the employee completes the job.
SOLUTIONS TO BUSINESS CONNECTIONS
Managerial Focus:
1. Only authorized persons able to add new employees to payroll; review of payroll by
different employee; distribution of paychecks by yet another person.
2. Premiums for workers’ compensation insurance are based on the amount earned by
classes of employees.
3. Penalties and fines for the employer.
4. Experience rating is a potential source of tax savings.
Ethical Dilemma:
Johan is paying $1,720 more per month for wages. The extra expense represents an additional
employee that he did not hire. He should consult his accountant to find the approval for an
additional sales associate. To prevent this from happening in the future, he should pass out the
paychecks personally to match the paycheck to the person.
Financial Statement Analysis:

1. $182,000,000/340,000 employees = $535.29
Teamwork:
Hire temporary employees for jobs that occur seasonally. Only pay 98% of deposit required. The
IRS states that 98% is considered in compliance. Stop any unnecessary overtime by requiring
management approval for all overtime. Find less expensive benefits.
Internet Connection:
The 940 and 941 form is available to download and use. However, the W-2, W-3, W-4 and W-5
must be original forms.
