    On Jan 31

    Vacation pay expense Dr $8,900

    To vacation payable $8,900

    (Being the vacation expense is recorded)

    Explanation:

    The journal entry is as follows

    On Jan 31

    Vacation pay expense Dr $8,900

    To vacation payable $8,900

    (Being the vacation expense is recorded)

    The computation is shown below:

    = Estimated amount of the current year's vacation pay : total number of months in a year

    = $106,800 : 12 months

    = $8,900

    For recording this transaction we debited the vacation expense as it increased the expenses while at the same time it also increased the liabilities so the vacation payable is credited
