Journal Entry to record the employee benefit expense

Dr. Employee Benefits Expense                   $32,000

Cr. Employee Medical Insurance Payable   $12,000

Cr. Employee retirement program payable $20,000

Explanation:

Employee benefits expense is the sum of medical insurance and retirement program expenses. As these payments are accrued and not yet been paid, so these will be classified as liabilities.

Employee Medical Insurance expense = $12,000

Employee retirement expense = $200,000 x 10% = $20,000

Employee benefits expense = Employee Medical Insurance + Employee retirement program

Employee benefits expense = $20,000 + $12,000

Employee benefits expense = $32,000
