Question: Sales and delivery wages are paid on Saturday. The weekly payroll for Scotch Cleaners is $1,260. Novemebr 30 falls on a Thursday and the company has a six-day pay week.

So do I Credit Wages Payable $210
And Debit Wages expense $210?

Dr. Wages Expense
Cr. Wages Payable

By how much? I don't know since the question is confusing.

Pay Day is Sat
Cut off is Thurs
But it is only a 6 day week... which 6 days?? I am going to assume Sat is NOT included.

Therefore,

1,260 x 5 / 6 = 1,050


Dr. Wages Expense 1,050
Cr. Wages Payable 1,050
