    $42,000

    2.

    Dr. Bonus Expense $42,000

    Cr. Employees Bonus Payable $42,000

    3.

    Dr. Employees Bonus Payable $42,000

    Cr. Cash $42,000

    Explanation:

    As Bonus is Based on the Net Income value

    Net Income (pre bonus) = $1,400,000

    Bonus rate = 3% of Net Income

    Bonus value = $1,400,000 x 3% = $42,000

    2.

    A liability is created while recording the expense of the bonus. Expense has debit nature so, it is debited to record it and Liability has credit nature so, it is credited.

    3.

    As cash is paid, to reduce the amount of cash, we credited the cash account because it has debit nature as an asset.

    Liability is paid off, to reduce the balance of liability we have debited the liability account because it has credit nature.
