when a bill of exchage is recorded, bills receivable is debited and the accepted party account is credited. In the entry the accepting party is credited correctly but bills payable account is credited. so we have to first reverse the entry of bill payable by debiting bills payable by 500 and debit bills receivable ( which is ommitted) by 500
