Answer:

wages expense 18,000 debit

        wages payable 18,000 credit

--adjusting entry for wages accrued of the period--

Explanation:

The adjusting entry will recognize the wages of these three days in order to match the expenses with the period on they are generated.

$ 30,000 on wages per week of 5 days so:

30,000 / 5 = 6,000 dollars of wages per day

For three days we need to recognize $6,000 per day x 3 days = $ 18,000

We recognize the wages payable and expense for this amount.
