    a $2,350 credit balance

    Explanation:

    Accounts payable is a liability account. As such, when a credit entry into the account increases the balance and a debit entry reduces the balance in the account.

    For the payment of an amount owed, it will be posted as a debit.

    Therefore the balance in the account after the posting

    = ($3700) + $1350

    = ($2350)

    Note the parenthesis was used to indicate a credit item.
