1st Bac - Variations in Accounts
Variations in asset accounts: On the basis of the double-entry principle, any increase in an account - considered as an asset - must be registered on the debit, on the other hand, when it means a decrease, it but be registered of the credit.
In the example of pizza restaurant, the purchase of an oven, the account involved could be equipment, since it's classified as an active it increases it value and it is registered in the debit ($5500). If in the future the oven was sold, it means a decrease in the asset account and an amount in the credit.
Variations in the liability accounts: In what has to do with the accounts grouped under the framework concept of liabilities, considering again the double-entry principle, all increases in in these financial accounts must be registered in the credit, while the decreases in the debit.
In the example of a shoe store, when a payment is done to a financial institution for a credit, this decreases the loan it must be registered in the debit from the loan account, on the other hand if the business gets another loan it would be registered on the credit.
Variations in the equity accounts: The variations in the equity accounts, framed in the approach of the double-entry principle, it has the same logic as the variations in liabilities.
In the example of a bakery, if the entrepreneur uses personal savings to buy an oven, the account of equity that will increase is capital so the effect is registered on the debit.
Variations in income accounts: When the business generates income, from the sale of goods and services, this amount will be registered in the account income from sales, as an income account it will always be on the credit.
Variations in costs and expenses accounts: Every increase in the amount of an accounts, considered as costs or expenses but be registered on the debit.
Finally, it should be remembered that the accounting reasoning proposed for the variations in assets, liability, equity, income, costs and expenses is the one recommended to the person in charge of accounting for financial movements, before recording a transaction.
