    Salaries and Wages Expense $50,300

    Salaries and Wages accrued Payable $50,300

    Explanation:

    Assuming there is 5 working days in the week and company pay for these only.

    Per week Payment = $125,750

    per day payment = 125750 / 5 = $25,150

    Days Lies in Year 2 = January 3, Year 2 - December 31, Year 1 = 3 days

    Days Lies in Year 1 = 5 - 3 = 2 days

    Salaries and Wages accrued on December 31, Year 1 = $25,150 x 2

    Salaries and Wages accrued on December 31, Year 1 = $50,300
