Answer 1

Answer:

Dr Accounts payable   $1000

Cr Cash                                      $400

Cr Notes payable                      $600

Explanation:

The $1000 owed was previously a credit in the accounts payable,since it has now been settled partly in cash and the remainder with notes payable,the accounts payable is debited with $1000.

Besides,the cash account should have witnessed an outflow of $400 and should be credited with $400.

Finally,$600 of the $1000 has been converted into notes payable instead of accounts payable and the notes payable should receive a credit of $600
