Answer 1

Answer:

Raw Material Inventory A/c Dr.        $198,000

  To Accounts Payable A/c                                          $198,000

That is the last option of all the given options.

Explanation:

When inventory is purchased then, effect of such purchase will be:

Increase in inventory with the amount of inventory purchased for this, Raw Material Inventory will be debited,

When inventory is purchased on cash then cash is decreased and thus cash is credited, or

It is purchased on credit, then accounts payable liability is created as there will be a liability to pay to such amount to creditors back with the amount of inventory.

Thus correct entry will be:

Raw Material Inventory A/c Dr.        $198,000

  To Accounts Payable A/c                                          $198,000
