Editor's Notes

  1. Part I A T-account looks like the letter T drawn on a piece of paper. The account title is written across the top of the horizontal bar of the T. Part II The left side of any account is the debit side. Part III The right side of any account is the credit side.
  2. Part I In every transaction, the total dollar value of all debits equals the total dollar value of all credits. But, what do the terms debit and credit mean? Part II Debit means left and credit means right. That is all. Just as we have all agreed that a red light means stop and a green light means go, accountants have agreed to the use of these special terms to refer to different sides of an account. Part III Asset accounts increase on the left or debit side and decrease on the right or credit side. Part IV Liability accounts increase on the right or credit side and decrease on the left or debit side. This is just opposite of the way assets increase and decrease. Part V Like liability accounts, equity accounts also increase on the right or credit side and decrease on the left or debit side.
  3. Part I Event three: On February 17, Collins Consultants purchased eight hundred fifty dollars of office supplies on account from Morris Supply Company. Part II This transaction increases the supplies asset account and increases the accounts payable liability account. It is classified as an asset source transaction. Part III Here is the effect of this transaction on the financial statements model. Part IV Here is the illustration of the impact on the T-accounts.
  4. Part I Event nine: On June 30, Collins purchased office equipment for forty two thousand dollars cash. Part II This transaction increases the office equipment asset account and decreases the cash asset account. It is classified as an asset exchange transaction. Part III Here is the effect of this transaction on the financial statements model. Part IV Here is the illustration of the impact on the T-accounts.
  5. This chapter explained how to record transactions using double-entry accounting.
