Answer:
Salary Expense A/c Dr. $3,000
To Salary Payable A/c $3,000
Since salary will be paid on Friday therefore, liability is recorded as salary payable.
Explanation:
As for the provided details,
The working week consists of 5 working days.
Thus, salary expense will be allocated to these 5 working days only. As the salary expense for a week = $5,000
That means salary expense for a day = $5,000/5 = $1,000 for each day.

That means three days, of the working week, fall in the financial year.
Therefore, salary expense for the year will be = $1,000 3 = $3,000
Thus, entry for this will be:
Salary Expense A/c Dr. $3,000
To Salary Payable A/c $3,000
Since salary will be paid on Friday therefore, liability is recorded as salary payable.
