I'm scratching my head on this one. Guess I need to brush up on my accrual accounting. Oh well, time to dive into the books!

I agree with Audry, not recording earned but unpaid salaries would make expenses appear lower than they actually are.

I'm going with D. This is a classic accrual accounting principle. Gotta keep those books balanced, you know?

B seems more logical to me. If you don't record the salaries, it would lead to an overstatement of expenses for the period.

Definitely D. Unpaid salaries are liabilities that need to be recorded, so failing to do so will overstate the company's financial position.

Hmm, I think the correct answer is D. Overstatement of liabilities for the period. Unpaid salaries should be recorded as accrued liabilities.
