The correct answer is C. "All wages and other earnings minus FICA."
To understand why option C is the correct answer, let's break down each option:
A. "All salaries": This option refers only to salaries, which may not encompass other sources of income an individual may have, such as wages from hourly work or other earnings. Therefore, option A is too narrow to capture an individual's net income accurately.
B. "All wages, salaries, and other earnings": This option is broader than option A as it considers wages, salaries, and other earnings. However, it does not account for any deductions or taxes that might be subtracted from an individual's gross income to calculate the net income.
C. "All wages and other earnings minus FICA": This option is the most accurate description of an individual's net income. It includes all wages and other earnings but subtracts FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) taxes. FICA taxes are typically withheld from an individual's paycheck to fund Social Security and Medicare programs. By deducting these taxes, option C gives a more accurate representation of an individual's net income.
D. "All wages minus all taxes and deductions": This option is too broad because it suggests subtracting "all" taxes and deductions from wages. While some deductions may be subtracted from gross income to calculate net income, not all taxes and deductions should be included. For example, federal income tax varies based on an individual's taxable income and other factors, so it would not be accurate to subtract all taxes and deductions.
In summary, option C is the most appropriate choice as it takes into account all wages and other earnings minus FICA taxes, providing a more accurate representation of an individual's net income.
