Solution

To find the Accounts Payable balance for Acme Enterprises, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Start with the initial debt to suppliers: $3,000.

  2. The sale of merchandise doesn't affect Accounts Payable, so we can ignore the $5,000 sale.

  3. Acme paid its suppliers 1,000.ThisreducestheAccountsPayablebalance,sosubtractthisfromtheinitialdebt:1,000. This reduces the Accounts Payable balance, so subtract this from the initial debt: 3,000 - 1,000=1,000 = 2,000.

  4. Acme bought more merchandise on account, which increases the Accounts Payable balance. Add this to the current balance: 2,000+2,000 + 4,000 = $6,000.

So, Acme now has an Accounts Payable balance of $6,000.
