    wages expense 1,250 debit

    wages payable 1,250 credit

    --year-end accrued wages--

    wages expense 3,750 debit

    wages payable 1,250 debit

    cash 5,000 credit

    --Jan 4th payment--

    Explanation:

    At year-end we must match the wages expenses with the period.

    December 31 is Monday so we accrued wages for this day only:

    5 employees x 250 dollars each = 1,250

    Then on Friday we pay for Monday and the other days:

    1,250 per day x 4 days = 5,000 cash proceed

    we already recognize 1,250

    wages expense for the period 3,750

    we also need to write-off the payable we determinate on December 31th.
