Q & A

What is the primary accounting rule for recording debits and credits?

The primary accounting rule is that debits and credits must always balance, meaning the total debits must equal the total credits in every transaction.

How are debits and credits used in relation to assets?

Debits increase assets, while credits decrease them. This follows the principle that assets are increased with debits and reduced with credits.

What happens when liabilities or equity accounts are recorded?

For liabilities and equity, the opposite occurs: credits increase these accounts, and debits decrease them.

What is the significance of the 'good part mode' mentioned in the transcript?

The 'good part mode' refers to the double-entry bookkeeping method, where every debit must have an equivalent credit to maintain balance in the accounting system.

What does 'share capital' represent in the context of accounting?

Share capital represents the total amount of money invested into a company by its shareholders in exchange for shares. In the script, share capital was fully subscribed and paid in cash, which is recorded as an increase in both cash and equity.

How are land acquisitions recorded in accounting?

Land acquisitions are recorded as an increase in non-current assets (land) and a decrease in current assets (cash), as the payment for land was made in cash.

What is the purpose of using a 'suppliers' account in accounting?

The 'suppliers' account is used to represent amounts owed for goods or services purchased on credit. It reflects the company's obligation to pay for merchandise or other items bought on credit.

What are the accounts involved when purchasing merchandise on credit?

When merchandise is purchased on credit, the 'inventory' or 'stock' account is debited (increasing assets), and the 'suppliers' account is credited (increasing liabilities).

How are furniture and fixtures recorded in accounting?

Furniture and fixtures are classified as non-current fixed assets. When acquired on credit, the 'furniture and fixtures' account is debited (increasing assets), and the 'accounts payable' account is credited (increasing liabilities).

What is the importance of keeping a ledger for each account in accounting?

A ledger for each account helps in tracking all the transactions related to that specific account, ensuring the accuracy and balance of the financial records. It is essential for managing individual transactions within the double-entry system.
