Answer:

Closing balance of accounts payables $ 13,970

Step-by-step explanation:

Computation of Ending balance of accounts payable

The ending balance = Opening balance- Account Payables + Credits (Accounts payables)- Debits (Accounts Payable)

Opening balance - Accounts Payable $ 18,310

Add: Credits in account payable

( $3,710 + $ 9,610 + $ 12,810) $ 26,130

Less: Debits in accounts payable

( $ 4,590 + $ 11,190 + $ 14,690) $ (30,470)

Closing balance in Accounts payables $ 13,970

The normal balance of accounts payable which is a liability account is a credit, therefore further credits which are increasing liabilities are added and debits which are reductions are subtracted.
