Steps for Analyzing a Transaction into Debit and Credit Parts
1. Which accounts are affected? Cash, Supplies, Capital, Accounts Payable, etc.
2. How is each account classified? Asset, Liability, or Owner’s Equity
3. How is each classification changed? Increases or Decreases?
4. How is each amount entered into the account? Debit Side or Credit Side? Increase or
Decrease?
DEBITS MUST EQUAL CREDITS ON EACH TRANSACTION! TOTAL DEBITS MUST EQUAL TOTAL CREDITS!
