Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The total deductions from the salaries are FICA taxes ($900), income taxes ($2,500), and medical insurance deductions ($450), which sum up to $3,850. Subtracting this from the total salaries of $12,000 gives $8,150, which is the net amount payable to employees, hence a credit to Salaries Payable for $8,150.
