Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct journal entry is shown below:

               To Cash A/c $2,200

(Being vacation benefit​ is paid for cash)

Before passing this entry, another entry is passed which is shown below:

          To Vacation benefits payable A/c

(Being expense is recorded)

Since we have to record the entry for vacation benefit paid. So, we credited the cash account and debited the  Vacation benefits payable account
