Answer:

First let us define the nature of each of the following as per Balance sheet of a company:

Payroll payable- Liability

FICA taxes withheld- Liability

Federal taxes- Liability

410(k)- Liability

Explanation:

Effect of Transaction on assets and liabilities:

  • Payroll expense Debit will have no impact
  • Payroll payable, Federal taxes, FICA and 401(k) will increase the current liability.
  • And when they are subsequently paid, cash will be credited hence decreasing the current assets and all these current liabilities shall be debited, hence decreasing the current liability portion.
