Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a business makes a cash payment to a supplier on account, it reduces the accounts payable account and the cash account; hence, the journal entry would be to debit (increase) accounts payable and credit (reduce) the cash account. Option B shows a debit to accounts payable and a credit to cash, which is the correct entry. Option A is incorrect because it shows only a credit to cash and no debit. Option C is incorrect because it shows cash being debited when it should be credited, and an office supplies account being credited, which isn't being paid off. Finally, option D is incorrect because it shows an office supplies account being credited instead of an accounts payable account.
