Account payable A/c Dr $8,000

To Cash A/c $8,000

(Being the payment is recorded)

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

On April 30

Account payable A/c Dr $8,000

To Cash A/c $8,000

(Being the payment is recorded)

As the cash is paid which reduces the cash balance so this account should be credited plus the account payable account should be credited so that the proper posting can be done.
