Hello! I am very confused on how to properly journal these entries because accrued versus paid. I have included all information given when it comes to wages. There is a drop down menu and I don't see anything for accrued but only wages. Drop Down Menu: Cash Accounts Receivable Notes Payable Accounts Payable Wages Payable Interest Payable Wages Expense and others which I don't believe would apply at all, but I'm confused with the amount of entries versus the Wage Calculation sheet at the end of this question. Please help me understand!   October 15: Hired a part-time helper to be paid $12 per hour. One pay period is the first of the month through the fifteenth, and the other is the sixteenth through the end of the month. Paydays are the twentieth for the first pay period and the fifth of the following month for the second pay period. (No entry required on this date—for informational purposes only.) October 31: Accrued wages earned for employee for period of October 16 through October 31. (See Wage Calculation Data table at the end of this document.)
