C. Crediting Wage Expense for $1,080 and debiting Wages Payable for $1,080.
D. Debiting Wage Expense for $1,080 and crediting Wages Payable for $1,080.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Debiting Wage Expense for $1,080 and crediting Wages Payable for $1,080.

Explanation:

Salary Calculation for three employees for one day = $ 600 + $ 600 + $ 600/5= 1800/5= $ 360

Salary for 3 days for 3 workers= $ 360 * 3= $ 1080

Adjusting Entry would be recognizing the expense and liability for the payment of wages.

So

Wages expense will be debited  with $ 1080

And wages payable would be credited with $ 1080
