Option B is the correct answer, a credit to salaries payable for $10,350

Explanation:

First of all, the net payment of salaries of Arcon Company equal the gross salaries expenses of $14,000 minus the deductions except the federal unemployment tax of $210

Net pay=$14,000-$1,050-$2,600=$10,350

In to record the salaries, the salaries expense account would be debited with $14,000 while the social security and medical taxes payable and federal income taxes payable account are credited with $1,050 and $2,600 respectively.

The net pay of $10,350 is credited to salaries payable in expectation of actual payment
