Answer 1

Answer:

     To Cash A/c $34,000

(Being the salary is paid for cash is recorded)

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

On January 3

Salaries expense A/c Dr $34,000

     To Cash A/c $34,000

(Being the salary is paid for cash is recorded)

Since salary is paid so we debited the salary expense account and the cash is reduced so cash account should be credited.
