Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trudy's Café paid employees for work performed in September, so this is an expense that needs to be recorded. The journal entry should debit an expense account, in this case, Salaries and Wages Expense for $1,700 and credit the Cash account for the same amount. The other choices are incorrect as they either credit a revenue account or a payable account, which is not appropriate for this transaction.
