Answer #1

Correct answer------------Debit Accounts Receivable $1,800; credit Cash $1,800

Debiting cash by mistake will increase the cash balance which needs to be reduced so that actual cash matches with book value of cash. In order to put back the actual cash balance , cash will be credited.

The accounts receivable are understated so accounts receivable will be debited.
