    Answer:

    $7,305.50

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The computation of the FICA tax pay in 2005 is shown below:

    Medicare = 1.45% × $119,000 = $1,722.50

    And, Social security tax = 6.2% × 90,000  = $5,580

    So, the FICA tax in 2005 is

    = Medicare tax + Social security tax

    = $1,722.50 + $5,580

    = $7,305.50
