d. increase wages payable $8,000.

Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

The weekly payroll amount to $8,000, which starts from Monday to Friday.

So, per day payroll would be:

Per day payroll = Weekly payroll ÷ Number of Days

= $8,000  ÷ 5

= $1,600

And the December 31, is Wednesday. So, the wages expense will increase for 3 days (that is Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday).

It would amounts to:

= Per day payroll × Number of days

= $1,600 × 3

= $4,800
