Aria Skinner · Answer 1

D) $6,000.

Explanation:

Number of Employees = 20 employees

Earning per day = $100 per day

Total Earning per day = 20 x $100 = $2,000 per day

It is assumed that weekend days are off days and not being paid.

Week days Spent upto last day after payment = Wednesday - Last Monday

Week days Spent upto last day after payment = 3 days

Accrued Expense at the end of accounting period = 3 days x $2,000 per day = $6,000
