This is a VERY simple accounting question. Since we can't do your homework for you, I'll tell you this much.

Hint #1: Anytime money is owed to a company from customers, it goes in the accounts receivable account. There are two accounts effected in your homework problem and I just gave you one.

Hint #2: Use the accounting equation.

If you still can't figure it out, please tell us what you don't understand. :wink:
