Q. Explain about debits and credits?
Accountants utilize the term debit instead of saying place an entry on the left side of the T-account. They utilize the term credit for Place an entry on the right side of the T-account. Debit shortened (Dr.) simply means left side credit shortened (Cr.) means right side therefore for all accounts a debit entry is an entry on the left side while a credit entry is an entry on the right side.
Subsequent to recognizing a business event as a business transaction we analyze it to determine its decrease or increase effects on the liabilities, assets, stockholders' equity items, dividends, revenues or expenses of the business. Then we decode these increase or decrease effects into debits and credits.
