We pay our employees every Friday afternoon a total of $1000 for the five days they work during the week.
1. What is the journal entry on a typical Friday payroll?
---This week the year-end occurs on Wednesday---
2. What journal entry, if any, will be made on Wednesday?
3. What journal entry, if any, will be made on Friday?
1)
On every friday, the salaries expense would be recorded at 1000 and cash would be paid for it
JOURNAL:
Salaries Expense 1000
Cash 1000
2)
Since the year ending is on Wednesday, the accrued salaries for 3 days would be booked.
Accrued salaries = 1000 / 5 * 3 = 600
Salaries Expense 600
Salaries Payable 600
3)
On the coming Friday, salary expense for remaining 2 days would be booked and salaries payable would also be cleared off
JOURNAL:
Salaries Expense (200 * 2) 400
Salaries Payable 600
Cash 1000
