    d. credit to salaries payable of $16,000

    Explanation:

    At the fiscal period ending, the company must recognize the expenses suffered in that period independently of its payment.

    So, the salaries expenses in that period include the 10,000 for the first week and the proportional 6,000 for the second week totalizing 16,000.

    The accountable register that has to be done is: Debit to salary expense for 16,000 and credit to salary payable for 16,000.
