Question

Chase Company has 10 employees, who earn a total of $2,200 in salaries each working day. They are paid on Monday for the five-day work week ending on the previous Friday. Assume that year ended on December 31, which is a Wednesday, and all employees will be paid salaries for five full days on the following Monday. The adjusting entry needed on December 31 is:

Answer 1

The adjusting entry is shown below:

Salaries expense A/c $6,600

          To Salaries payable A/c $6,600

(Being salary is adjusted)

The salaries expense is computed by

= Total salary each day × number of days

= $2,200 × 3 days

= $6,600

The 3 days is computed from Monday to Wednesday

And for correct posting, we debited the salaries expense account and credited the salaries payable account.
