Answer: True

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that a company pays an employee $3,000 for a five-day work week from Monday to Friday. This means that the employee receives a daily payment of ($3,000/5) = $600.

On Wednesday which is the third day, he will be paid ($600 * 3) = $1800. Therefore, the adjusting entry on December 31, which falls on a Wednesday will be to debit the wages expense, $1,800, and then credit to wages payable of $1,800.
