Study Notes
Accounting Basics
- Accounting provides quantitative financial information about economic entities to support informed decision-making.
- Debits (Dr) originate from the Latin "debere," indicating what is received, while credits (Cr) come from "credere," indicating what is parted with.
Fundamental Concepts
- Every transaction involves a value received (debit) and a value parted with (credit), maintaining the balance: Debit = Credit.
- Elements in accounting include Assets (debit), Liabilities (credit), Owner's Equity (credit), Drawings (debit), Revenues (credit), and Expenses (debit).
T-Accounts
- T-Accounts are visual representations of accounts, comprising a left (debit) side for values received and a right (credit) side for values parted with.
- The balance of an account is determined by the difference between total debits and credits:
- Debit Balance: If debits > credits
- Credit Balance: If credits > debits
- Closed Account: If debits = credits
Transactions
- Transaction analysis involves identifying value received and value parted with, categorized by account type and impact on financial statements.
- Example transactions include:
- Cash investment by Mr. Gutierrez: Debit Cash, Credit Owner’s Equity.
- Cash withdrawal by Mr. Gutierrez: Debit Drawing, Credit Cash.
- Salary payment: Debit Salaries Expense, Credit Cash.
- Purchase of supplies on account: Debit Office Supplies, Credit Accounts Payable.
Phases of Accounting
- Phases include Recording (journaling transactions), Classifying (sorting into categories), Summarizing (preparing financial statements), and Interpreting (analyzing financial data).
Bookkeeping vs. Accounting
- Bookkeeping is focused on systematically recording transactions, while accounting involves analyzing and interpreting these records to produce financial reports.
- Both processes are interdependent for effective financial management.
Business Transactions
- Business transactions are classified as external (between entities) or internal (within the business), affecting assets, liabilities, and equity.
- Each transaction must reflect equal value exchange (received versus parted).
Examples of Transaction Analysis
- Transaction examples demonstrate the impact on accounts:
- Bought a car for cash: Value received is the car, and the value parted is cash.
- Each transaction adjusts respective accounts, providing insight into financial health.
Importance of Debits and Credits
- Understanding the rules of debits and credits is crucial for accurate financial reporting.
- Each account type has a normal balance reflecting its typical state, guiding how transactions should be recorded.
