DR. CR.

Purchases $800

A liability was made at the time of purchase. Now it will be paid off by debiting Account payable and crediting cash.

Dr Accounts payable 800

    Cr Cash 800

Explanation:

The journal entry to record the purchase should have been:

Dr Office supplies 800

    Cr Accounts payable 800

Accounts payable is a liability account and therefore has a credit balance. Once the liability is paid, it must be debited so its balance equals $0.
