Fat Tire pays employees and all payroll related liabilities semi-monthly. Each payment of payroll related liabilities is for the previous pay period. Thus, Fat Tire needs to accrue salaries and payroll related expenses for the December 16th-31st pay period. The following information was obtained for the last pay period of the year.

Gross Pay = $11,500
Federal Income Tax withholding rate = 20%
FICA withholding rate = 8%
FICA rate for the employer = 8%

Assume no unemployment taxes were incurred during the pay period. Fat Tire maintains a liability account Federal Income Tax withholdings and a separate liability account for all other payroll related tax liabilities.
The Allowance for Doubtful accounts is adjusted at the end of each year using the percentage of sales method. Fat Tires estimates that 1% of net sales will go uncollected.
The Prepaid Insurance balance represents a $36,000 one-year policy that began on July 1. The company adjusts any prepaid items on a monthly basis.

Furniture and Fixtures were acquired on January 2, 2007 at a cost of $60,000. Management selected a 10 year life with no residual value. Fat Tire depreciates Furniture and Fixtures on a monthly basis using the straight-line method of depreciation.
