The Salaries expense account would be debited on the left side of the T-account, and the Cash account would be credited on the right side of the T-account.

Explanation:

  1. Salaries Expense Account:

    • When a company pays salaries, it incurs an expense. Expenses are recorded as debits in accounting.
    • Therefore, the Salaries expense account is debited.
    • Debits are recorded on the left side of the T-account.
  2. Cash Account:

    • Paying salaries involves an outflow of cash, which decreases the cash balance.
    • Decreases in asset accounts, like Cash, are recorded as credits.
    • Credits are recorded on the right side of the T-account.

In summary, the transaction involves debiting the Salaries expense account on the left side and crediting the Cash account on the right side.
