Can someone pls explain me this question as to why are we using the salary rate at the balance sheet date ?

Lys City reports a compensated absences liability in its government-wide financial statements. The salary rate used to calculate the liability should normally be the rate in effect:

Options :-

a.) When the unpaid compensated absences were earned.

b.) When the compensated absences are to be paid.

c.) At the balance sheet date. - Correct Answer

d.) When the compensated absences were earned or are to be paid, or at the balance sheet date, whichever results in the lowest amount.

Gleim references GASB 16, Accounting for Compensated Absences.

"The compensated absences liability ordinarily is measured using the pay rates in effect at the balance sheet date."
