Answer:
December 31 Salaries & wages expense 3600 Dr
Salaries & wages Payable 3600 Cr
Step-by-step explanation:
The pay week is of 5 days starting from Monday to Friday. The wage per day is,
wage per day = 6000 / 5 = $1200 per day
The adjusting entry is made based on the accrual or matching principle which follows that the expenses and revenue relating to a particular period should be matched and recorded in their respective periods.
Thus, the wage expense for 3 days ending 31 December will be recorded as wages expense on 31 december for 1200 * 3 = $3600
The credit against this entry will be wages payable as the wage will be paid on January 2.
