    Hi there!

    Answer:

    D. credit Wages Payable for $2,880.

    Explanation:

    -First we calculate the cost per employee per day

    $15 per hour * 8 hours/day = $120 per day per employee

    -Then we calculate the daily cost in wages

    8 employees x $120 = $960 per day

    -Then we accrue wages until the end of the month (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday)

    Daily cost $960

    Days worked till the month ends 3

    Accrued expense $2,880

    Journal entry:

    Debit Credit

    Wages expense $2,880

    Wages Payable $2,880
