    Just started accounting and having trouble journalizing.
    3/2--Rental $3,500; $1,500 was paid in cash and $2,000 will be paid on 3/10.

    I'm confused on what to do. It appears that cash decreases and rent expense increases.

    So do I Debit Rent Expense $3500 and Credit Cash or Accounts Payable $3500?(not sure how to journal the cash and accts payable at the same time) I'm not finding any examples in the book--so I'm doing something wrong.
