    The correct option is A

    Explanation:

    The weekly payroll amount to $8,000, which starts from Monday to Friday.

    So, per day payroll would be:

    Per day payroll = Weekly payroll : Number of Days

    = $8,000 : 5

    = $1,600

    And the December 31, is Wednesday. So, the wages expense will increase for 3 days (that is Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday).

    It would amounts to:

    = Per day payroll * Number of days

    = $1,600 * 3

    = $4,800
