Question

Flagg records adjusting entries at its December 31 year-end. At December 31, employees had earned $10,000 of unpaid and unrecorded salaries. The next payday is January 3, at which time $25,000 will be paid. Prepare the January 1 journal entry to reverse the effect of the December 31 salary expense accrual.

The same is to be considered
