The journal entry to record wages and salaries on Friday should be:

Friday, January 2, wages and salaries:

Dr Wages and salaries expenses 7,200

Dr Salaries payable 4,800

Cr Cash 12,000

Wages and salaries expenses includes the wages corresponding to December 29-31 (3 days) = ($12,000 / 5 days) x 3 days = $7,200
