Explanation / Answer

Answers

-Employees worked for last 2 days of December and hence salaries are accrued to be paid but not yet paid. As a result, salaries expense will have to be recorded.

-Salaries expenses = (5 employees x $ 700 x 2 days/5days) + (3 employees x $ 600 x 2 days/5 days)

=1400 + 720

= $ 2,120

Adjustment no.
