Answer:
A debit to Cash
Explanation:
When a sale is made to a customer who pays with a check, the company records: A debit to Cash.
The entry has nothing to do with accounts payable. It is a transaction between cash and accounts receivable.
Notice that the journal entry will be
Dr. Cash
Cr. Accounts receivable
The bank is not yet debited until the check is lodged and if it returns dishonored you reverse the above journal entry by
Dr. Accounts receivable
Cr. Cash
To show that the amount is not yet paid.
