Analyzing a TransactionIn the previous tutorial, you learned to analyze transactions by asking the following three questions:
ü What accounts are involved in the transaction?ü What is the classification of each account?ü What is happening to each account—is it
increasing or decreasing?
In this lesson, you will add a fourth question to this list.

Analyzing a TransactionFrom this point on, when analyzing a transaction, ask yourself the following fourquestions.
1. What accounts are involved in the transaction?2. What is the classification of each account?3. What is happening to each account—is it

The account name is written at the top of the T. Increases and decreases are entered on each side of the T.

Debit and Credit
Although debit and credit mean the left and right sides of an account, they represent
different effects for different types of accounts.
![Page 10: Debits and Credits - Nashville State Community Collegeww2.nscc.edu/swanson_l/Acct 1104 Web/Presentations...üWhat accounts are involved in the transaction? üWhat is the classification](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030419/5aa673de7f8b9a517d8e879f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Increases with Debits
The Debit side of an account represents increases in assetaccounts, expenseaccounts, and Drawing.
![Page 11: Debits and Credits - Nashville State Community Collegeww2.nscc.edu/swanson_l/Acct 1104 Web/Presentations...üWhat accounts are involved in the transaction? üWhat is the classification](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030419/5aa673de7f8b9a517d8e879f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Increases with Credits
The Credit side of an account represents
increases in liabilityaccounts, revenue
accounts, and Capital.
![Page 12: Debits and Credits - Nashville State Community Collegeww2.nscc.edu/swanson_l/Acct 1104 Web/Presentations...üWhat accounts are involved in the transaction? üWhat is the classification](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030419/5aa673de7f8b9a517d8e879f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Decreases with Credits
Since debits represent increases in assetaccounts, expenseaccounts, and Drawing, then creditsmust represent decreases in these accounts.
![Page 13: Debits and Credits - Nashville State Community Collegeww2.nscc.edu/swanson_l/Acct 1104 Web/Presentations...üWhat accounts are involved in the transaction? üWhat is the classification](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030419/5aa673de7f8b9a517d8e879f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
