Question

when wages payable is credited, which of the following accounts will receive the corresponding debit? fica payable accounts receivable wages expense

Explanation:

When Wages Payable is credited (indicating an increase in the liability for wages owed), the corresponding debit is to Wages Expense. This is because the expense for wages has been incurred (so we debit the expense account) and we owe the wages (credit Wages Payable). FICA Payable is a different liability related to payroll taxes, and Accounts Receivable is for amounts owed to the company, not related to wage expenses.

Answer:

Wages Expense
