The Books are closed on Tuesday , after the payroll payment made on Friday.                   

so the Payroll expenses need to be provided for Monday and Tuesday ,i.e.2 days                           

we need to find the Payroll Expense per day                    

                               

No. Of work days   =    employee work days in a week *   weeks a year                  

                                    = 5 * 50          

                                      = 250   Days

Pay roll expense per day =   Annual Pay roll expense / No. Of work days                            

                                                = 57000000 / 250            

                                                =    $228,000 Per day

                               

Accrual is required for 2 days                    

so Accrual of Pay roll expense   =   228000 * 2                     

                                                = $456,000
