To accrue for the two day's wage

Debit Wages account (p/l)  $13,060

Credit Accrued wages account  $13,060

Being entries to recognize accrued wages as at December 31.

To break it further, the deductions (such as taxes) from this gross amount

= ((32650 - 21330)/32650) × 13060

= $4,528

Net income = $ 13,060 - $ 4,528

                   = $8,532
