Respuesta :

Answer:

$5,400

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

The cash paid every Friday = $13,500

And, on December 31, it is Wednesday

So, on December 31, the salaries and wages is  

= $13,500 × 3 days ÷ 5 days

= $8,100

And, on January 1 and January 2, the salaries and wages expense is

= $13,500 - $8,100

= $5,400

Or

= $13,500 × 2 days ÷ 5 days

= $5,400
