4-43 Salaries of $8,500 have been earned by employees for the last half of

December 20X1. Payment by the company will be made on the next payday,

January 2, 20X2.




Answer & Explanation


To properly account for the salaries earned by employees in December 20X1

but paid in January 20X2, you need to make an adjusting journal entry at the

end of December. This ensures that expenses are recorded in the period they are

incurred, following the accrual basis of accounting.


Here's how you can record this transaction:


1. Adjusting Entry on December 31, 20X1:


o Debit Salaries Expense: $8,500


 This increases your expenses for December and reflects that

these salaries were earned by employees during this period.


o Credit Salaries Payable: $8,500
