Friday. The last payroll recorded for the year ended December 31, Year 2, was for the week ended December 25, Year 2. The payroll for the week ended January 1, Year 3, included regular weekly salaries of $80,000 and vacation pay of $25,000 for vacation time earned in year 2 not taken by December 31, Year 2. Ross had accrued a liability of $20,000 for vacation pay at December 31, Year 1. In its December 31, Year 2, balance sheet, what amount should Ross report as accrued salary and vacation pay?

nmlkj $64,000

nmlkj $68,000

nmlkj $69,000

nmlkj $89,000

D

Explanation:

Accrued salary, 12/31 year 2 ($80,000 x 4/5*)   64,000

Accrued vacation time earned in year 2           ; ;    25,000

Accrued salary and vacation time, 12/31 year 2 89,000

 

My questions is what happened to the $20,000 vacation pay arrued in 2001?

I agree with gottabecpa. They told you the $25,000 was not taken so with that tidbit of information, one can assume that the $20,000 was taken since the question didn't say it wasn't taken.

The 20K from Yr 1 is a distractor. Accrual entries are reversing.
