Mason Painting Services has a weekly payroll of $28,000. December 31 falls on Wednesday and Mason will pay its employees the fol
lowing Monday (January 5) for the previous full week. Assume that Mason has a five-day workweek and has an unadjusted balance in Salaries Expense of $800,000 at December 31. What amount should be debited to Salaries Expense on December 31?
As the left number increases by 1, the right number increases by 4. So as you can see, the left numbers go 3-4-5 while the right numbers go 12-16-20. So the answer is 10:40 because 10x4=40.
