C) a credit to FICA-Medicare Taxes Payable for $390.05

Explanation:

Before passing the journal entry, first we have to do the calculations which are shown below:

The Total salary would be

= Dan's gross pay + Pat's gross pay

= $11,500 + $15,400

= $26,900

Now the  FICA-OASDI Tax would be

= Total salary × tax rate

= $26,900 × 6.2%

= $1,667.80

And, the FICA-Medicare Tax would be

= Total salary × tax rate

= $26,900 × 1.45%

= $390.05

Now the journal entry would be

Salary expense A/c Dr $26,900

        To FICA Social security payable $1,667.80

        To FICA Medicare tax payable $390.05

        To Salaries payable $24,842.15

(Being salary expense is recorded)
