    Answer: $74,102

    Explanation:

    FICA Tax Payable by Employer = 1.45% * $185,000 + 7.65% * ($1,020,000 - $185000)

    = $2,682.5 + $63,877.5

    = $66,560

    State unemployment tax = 1% * ($1,020,000 - $601,000)

    = $4,190

    Federal unemployment tax = 0.8% * ($1,020,000 - $601,000)

    = $3,352

    Payroll tax expense = FICA Tax Payable by Employer + state unemployment tax + federal unemployment tax

    = $66,560 + $4,190 + $3,352

    = $74,102
