Answer:

The correct option is A,debit salaries expense $9,900.00 and credit salaries payable $9,900.00

Explanation:

As at 31st December, which was a Wednesday, the company would have incurred salaries for three days i.e Monday-Wednesday.

If each day costs $3,300.00 in salaries ,hence three days would cost $9.900.00(3*$3,300.00) in total.

Since amount of salaries owed is $9,900.00, an entry  has to passed in salaries payable account to show that the business has an obligation of $9,900.00 to settle by crediting salaries payable account and the corresponding debit  entry would be in salaries expense account in order to recognize costs.
