    Option 1

    Explanation:

    When inventory is purchased, it may be purchased on account/credit or with cash.

    Irrespective of the way it is purchased, a debit entry is posted to inventory (with the cost of the items purchased), however if purchased using cash, cash is credited.

    If purchased on account or credit, the credit entry goes to the accounts payable account.

    Subsequently, when cash is paid, debit accounts payable and credit cash.

    The correct answer is option (1) Inventory 2,000 Accounts Payable 2,000

    If it is purchased on credit, the entry goes to the payable account
