Cash (db) $500
Account Rec-*customer name - (cr) $500
Not only did you receive cash, which increases your cash (debit) but the customer paid toward his account and it reduces the amount he owes (credit).

what is average account receivable
Bills receivable is a real account. When acceptance is received, Bills receivable account is debited (debit what comes in). When the bill is discounted or returned to acceptor at the time of maturity, Bills receivable account is credited (credit what goes out).
Account receivable is a balance sheet item shown under current assets on the asset side, having a debit balance. It doesn't have anything to do with net income as accounts receivable is never shown in the trading profit and loss account. Only credit sales relating to such receivables during the current year forms part of the credit side of profit and loss and nit the account receivable itself.
