Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The monthly payroll on April 30 would include a debit to Salaries Expense for the total of all employee earnings ($16,670) plus employer payroll taxes ($2,830), which equals $19,500. This corresponds to option A. The credit to Salaries Payable would only be used if some of the earnings were not paid out in the current pay period. The $15,300 and $12,989 represent only part of the total earnings and do not include the employer payroll taxes.
