What is an accounts payable?

In accounting, an accounts payable refers to the money owed by a business to its suppliers shown as a liability on a company's balance sheet. It is different from notes payable liabilities which are debts created by formal legal instrument documents.

The computation of accounts payable on the March will be derived as follows:

= (March Credit purchases*0.60) + (February Credit purchases*0.10)

= ($202,000*0.60) + ($174,800*0.10)

= $121,200 + $17,480

=  $138,680
