    Debit Accrued expense $4,500

    Debit Salaries expense $3,000

    Credit Cash account $7,500

    Being entries to recognize salaries paid on January 2.

    Explanation:

    Under the accrual basis of accounting, expenses are recorded when incurred and not necessarily when payment has been made.

    The entries required are debit expense and credit accrued expense.

    Given that weekly pay is $7,500 for a 5-day week, daily pay

    = 1/5 * $7,500

    = $1,500

    Salaries expense incurred between Monday and Wednesday

    = 3 * $1,500

    = $4,500

    Entries required on December 31

    Debit Salaries expense $4,500

    Credit Accrued salaries $4,500

    On January 2 when the employees are paid, the additional amount to be expensed

    = $7,500 - $4,500

    = $3,000

    Entries to be posted

    Debit Accrued expense $4,500

    Debit Salaries expense $3,000

    Credit Cash account $7,500

    Being entries to recognize salaries paid on January 2.
