In the following problems, use the net FUTA tax rate of 0.6% on
the first $7,000 of taxable wages.
Refer to Instruction 5-1. Sparks Company’s SUTA rate for next year
is 3.25% because its reserve ratio falls into the state's 10% to
less than 12% category [(contributions - benefits paid) ÷ average
payroll = $414,867 ÷ $3,521,790 = 11.78%]. If the next bracket (12%
to less than 14%) would give the company a lower tax rate of 3.05%,
what would be the least amount of the voluntary contribution needed
to qualify the company for the 3.05% SUTA tax rate?
