Billed patients for services rendered of $3,500.

journal entry help.... is this account payable, debit, credit.etc.....(on journal entry )

To determine the appropriate accounts to debit and credit in the journal entry for billing patients for services rendered, we first need to identify the accounts involved in the transaction.

In this case, the key accounts are:
1. Revenue or Sales: This account represents the income generated from providing services.
2. Accounts Receivable: This account represents the amount owed to the business by its customers/patients for services provided on credit.

Now, let's break down the journal entry:

1. Debit the Accounts Receivable account (increase)
This represents the amount billed to the patients, which creates an account receivable (an asset) on the business's books.

2. Credit the Revenue or Sales account (increase)
This recognizes the revenue earned from providing the services.

Hence, the journal entry for billing patients for services rendered would be as follows:

Accounts Receivable $3,500 (Debit)
Revenue/Sales $3,500 (Credit)

Remember, this journal entry assumes that the services were provided on credit, and the business expects to receive payment from the patients at a later date. If the payment is received immediately, the accounts receivable would not be debited, and instead, the appropriate cash account would be debited.
