Answer: The journal entry is as follows:

Explanation:

Given that,

Balance in salary payable = $40000

Next payroll in the following month = $45000

So, the journal entry to record the payment salary is as follows:

Salaries and Wages Expense A/C Debit 5000

Salaries and Wages Payable A/C Debit 40000

To Cash A/C 45000

(entry to record the payment salary)
