Explanation:
Requirement 1
Adjusting entry for wages expenses
Wages expense debit $440 (Note 1)
Wages payable credit $440
Note 1:
Calculation: Two employees wages = $220 × 2 = $440
As the employees did not receive the wages until Friday and December 31 was Monday, the year ending liability was only for one day. They would receive the wages next Friday, which is in the next year.
Requirement 2
The journal entry to record payment of the employees' wages on Friday, January 4 -
Wages expense       debit           $1,760 (Note 2)
Cash                credit           $1,760
Note 2: Two employees wages for 4 days = $220 × 2 × 4 days = $1,760
As January 1 (New years day) was unpaid holly day, the employees did not receive January 1 date's wages, which is $440. As cash paid on January 4, cash became credit.
