Explanation:

As per IRS, in part 5 of Form 940, Peterson Company will report FUTA tax liability by Quarter only if Total FUTA Tax after Adjustments is more than $500. So, Peterson Company is not required to pay FUTA tax until FUTA tax liability is more than $500 and if in any particular quarter the FUTA tax liability is less than $500 then the cumulative amount will be taken with the next quarter until the FUTA tax liability reaches more than $500. So first quarter will add up with quarter 2 and the FUTA tax liability will be $606.60 & third quarter will add up with fourth quarter and the FUTA tax liability will be $537.  

As far as due dates are concerned, the due date of the first quarter is the month after the end of first quarter. So, for the quarter from January to March the Due Date will be April 30, from April to June the Due Date will be July 31, from July to September the Due Date will be October 31, from October to December the Due Date will be January 31.

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.
