Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When cash is paid to creditors on account, it means that the company is reducing its accounts payable balance. Therefore, the entry should be Accounts Payable,debit; Cash,credit. Option A is incorrect because it has Common Stock being credited which is unrelated to the transaction. Option C is incorrect because it has Accounts Receivable being debited which is the opposite of what should happen in this transaction. Option D is incorrect because it has both Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable being involved in the same transaction which does not make sense.
