Solution:

10 Days Wages = $20000

As per question wages was evenly paid over the period of 10 Days

Per Day wages = $20000/10

= $2000 Per day

1) As per question Away and Close Vacationers Inc pay wages one week after the pay period, hence wages payable on Friday, May 16, 2014 will be wages of last week ends on Friday, May 9, 2014, ( 5 Days wages)

= Per Day wages x 5

= $2000 x 5

= $10000

2) Calculation of Wages Expense rated to fiscal year ended April 30, 2014:

No of days for which wages payable pending for the year ended April 30, 2014 = 3 days

Wages Expense = No of days wages payable pending for the year ended April 30, 2014

x Per Day wages

= 3 Days x $ 2000

= $6000

3) Calculation of Wages Expenses rated to fiscal year starting on May 1, 2014

= Total Wages Expenses - Wages Expenses rated to fiscal year ended April 30, 2014

= $20000 - $6000 = $14000
