I am confused about where A/P goes in the Cash Payments Journal. I was taught that Accounts Payable is a credit in the CP Journal but I have a book that shows that in the "Cash Payments Journal" Accounts Payable is a debit. How can it be both and who is right?
Cash Payments/Disbursements Journal indicates when you PAY someone else cash. Therefore, you will always CREDIT Cash. And you will debit, Accounts Payable, Salaries Payable, etc.
thank you, actually it was my instructor which is why I was confused when the book showed it as a debit, which makes logical sense. Thank you for confirming this.
