Accounts payable

Explanation:

In accounting, the term accounts payable refers to the money that is owed by a business to its suppliers, in other words, it refers to the business' short-term debts.

When merchandise is purchased on account and it is returned under the perpetual inventory system, the buyer would then debit accounts payable since it is money that the company would owe to the buyer.
