Key Concepts

Equity Accounts

Equity accounts represent the owner's interest in the business and are generally increased by credit entries rather than debit entries. In the context of the double-entry system, while assets and expenses are increased by debits, equity accounts (such as retained earnings) are normally increased by credits, reflecting the accumulation of earnings over time. This characteristic differentiates them from asset and expense accounts in transactional accounting.

Debit and Credit

Debit and credit are the two fundamental aspects of every accounting transaction. In a double-entry accounting system, every transaction involves both a debit entry and a credit entry, ensuring that the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) remains balanced. Each type of account, whether asset, liability, equity, revenue, or expense, has a typical behavior regarding how it is affected by debits and credits.

Normal Balances

The concept of normal balances refers to the side of an account that is increased by a transaction. For example, asset and expense accounts typically have debit balances, meaning that debits increase their amounts, while liability, equity, and revenue accounts usually have credit balances, meaning that credits increase their amounts. Understanding normal balances is essential for correctly recording and interpreting transactions.

00:01 Okay, so let's start the solution.

00:07 First of all, i will state the five type of accounts we do have throughout the accounting as a subject.

00:19 So what are the assets? these are the recoverable amounts.

00:34 Plus cash, plus inventory.

00:45 Let's suppose you are into business of selling video games to customers or you are into business of selling furniture to your customers.

00:54 So let's suppose your customer says that i will pay you after a certain period of time, let's say 30 days.

01:00 So that amount will become recoverable amount.

01:03 Recoverable means you have to recover that amount from your customer.

01:07 So that will be considered as assets.

01:11 Cash like cash balance maintained at your business entity, which is deposited into banks also.

01:18 So cash at bank also.

01:23 Bank accounts also will be considered as your cash.

01:26 Inventory from which you produce finished goods or we can say saleable goods which are you know fit for selling to the customers apart from assets we have liabilities table amounts let's suppose our business is a customer for someone else and we have to pay off them as as a vendor or we can say we have purchased some goods from our supplier but we have not paid yet.

02:09 So that will become our liability because in that case we have to pay off our suppliers for the benefits we have availed of.

02:20 Short term, short and long term debt.

02:34 This is the first.

02:36 This is the second.
