Salaries Expense $8,000

Salaries payable $8,000

Explanation:

Four days of the week passed until December 31. So, the accrued expense will be as follow:

Payroll for 5 days = $10,000

Payroll for 1 days = $10,000 / 5 = $2,000

Payroll for 4 days = $2,000 x 4 = $8,000

Accrued Expense of $8,000 should be recorded and a liability will be made against this expense as payment has not been made.
