2. December 31, 2020
10 employees * $11.83/hr. * 8 hrs./day * 1 day =$946
Add: 10 employees * $12.76/hr. * 8 hrs./day * 11 days = 11,229
Total $12,175
($11,229+$946)
Therefore the amounts of any liability for compensated absences that should be reported on the balance sheet at December 31, 2019 will be $10,410 and 2020 will be $12,175
