Answer:
The Viewmont now has an Accounts Payable balance of $9,600 in the books of accounts.
Explanation:
Accounts Payable : The accounts payable is shown in the balance sheet under current liabilities as it is for short period of time like - less than one year.
The balance of accounts payable is shown below:
= Last year purchase - paid amount + another purchase
= $4,800 - $1,600 + $6,400
= $9,600
The half of the sale of the merchandise amount is not related to the accounts payable. That's why it is not being considered in the computation part.
Hence, the Viewmont now has an Accounts Payable balance of $9,600 in the books of accounts.
