Journal:
Journal is the book of original entry. Journal consists of the day-to-day financial transactions in a chronological order. The journal has two aspects; they are debit aspect and the credit aspect.
Rules of debit and credit:
“An increase in an asset account, an increase in an expense account, a decrease in liability account, and a decrease in a revenue account should be debited.
Similarly, an increase in liability account, an increase in a revenue account and a decrease in an asset account, a decrease in an expenses account should be credited”.
A trial balance is the summary of all the ledger accounts. The trial balance is prepared to check the total balance of the debit with the total of the balance of the credit column, which must be equal. The trial balance is usually prepared to check accuracy of ledger balances. In trial balance the debit balances are listed in the left column, and credit balances are listed in the right column.
T-Accounts:
T-accounts are referred as T-account because its format represents the letter “T”. The T-accounts consists of the following:
- The title of accounts.
- The debit side (Dr) and,
- The credit side (Cr).
To journalize: The transactions that occurred on October 1, 10, and 20.
