operations for a period of time

CHAPTER 2: RECORDING BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
ACCOUNTS
− smaller elements contained in the 3 elements of the Accounting Equation
− the detailed record of all increases and decreases that have occurred in an individual asset, liability,
equity, revenue, or expense during a specified period
− e.g., land, cash
− transactions always have at least 2 impacts on the accounting equation
− T-account:
o a shortened visual form of the more formal general ledger account format
o debits are on the left, credits are on the right
o balanced at the end of each period
o any time a debit is put into one account, an equal credit must be put into another account
o debit balance = an account with more debits than credits
o credit balance = an account with more credits than debits
o the balancing impact of transactions can be explained using T-accounts and debits and
credits
