    The journal entries are shown below:

    1. Salaries expense A/c Dr $1,200 ($400 * 3 days)

    To Salary payable A/c Dr $1,200

    (Being the accrued salary is recorded)

    The 3 days are calculated from December 28 to December 31

    2. Salaries expense A/c Dr $4,400 ($400 * 11 days)

    Salary payable A/c Dr $1,200

    To Cash A/c $5,600

    (Being the payment is recorded)

    3. Now the adjusted balance of Salaries Payable is

    = Salaries Payable before adjustment in 2015 + Adjusted balance

    = $0 + $1,200

    = $1,200
