Answer 1

D. Credit to Salaries Payable for $8,100.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know Accrued expenses are those incurred but not yet recorded in the books. Accrued expenses are represented as a liability in the balance sheet.

So we have the year-end adjusting entry as following:

Account Debit Credit

Salaries Expense $8,100

Salaries Payable $8,100
