    Both correct.

    NOV 11 Bill Receivable(DR) $1430 to General Journal and Accounts Receivable(CR) to General Journal.
    Real close, but there's no discount because they didn't pay by the 28th of October.

    Think about the concept behind it. You're paying something first of all. What account do you pay out of? Same one you paid out of for Nov. 5. Now, I don't know about the other account because I'm in the U.S. and don't know how your taxes work. It says from the prior month -- I would assume that means the entries for it were taken care of during the prior month and since not paid yet, would end up in some type of liability account, whatever you might call it. In which case, you are reducing that liability by paying it, again just like you do on Nov. 5. It's the same type of entry.
