CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Describe how accounts, debits, and credits are used to record business transactions.
An account is a record of increases and decreases in specific asset, liability, or stockholders’
equity items. The terms debit and credit are synonymous with left and right. Assets,
dividends, and expenses are increased by debits and decreased by credits. Liabilities,
common stock, retained earnings, and revenues are increased by credits and decreased by
debits.
2. Indicate how a journal is used in the recording process. The basic steps in the recording
process are (a) analyze each transaction for its effects on the accounts, (b) enter the
transaction information in a journal, (c) transfer the journal information to the appropriate
accounts in the ledger.
The initial accounting record of a transaction is entered in a journal before the data are
entered in the accounts. A journal (a) discloses in one place the complete effects of a
transaction, (b) provides a chronological record of transactions, and (c) prevents or locates
errors because the debit and credit amounts for each entry can be easily compared.
3. Explain how a ledger and posting help in the recording process. The ledger is the entire
group of accounts maintained by a company. The ledger provides the balance in each of the
accounts as well as keeps track of changes in these balances. Posting is the transfer of
journal entries to the ledger accounts. This phase of the recording process accumulates the
effects of journalized transactions in the individual accounts.

4. Prepare a trial balance. A trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances at a given
time. Its primary purpose is to prove the equality of debits and credits after posting. A trial
balance also uncovers errors in journalizing and posting and is useful in preparing financial
statements.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS
S-A E 202
An account is an important accounting record where financial information is stored until needed.
Briefly explain (1) the nature of an account, (2) the different types of accounts, and (3) the
manner in which an account is increased and decreased and its normal balance.
Solution 202
An account is an individual accounting record of increases and decreases in specific asset,
liability, and stockholders’ equity accounts. In its simplest form, an account consists of three
parts: (1) the title of the account, (2) a left or debit side, and (3) a right or credit side (it resembles
the letter T). Accounts are classified as asset, liability, stockholders’ equity, revenue, and
expense. Accounts with a normal debit balance, such as assets and expenses, are increased
when debited and decreased when credited. Accounts with a normal credit balance, such as
liabilities and revenues, are increased when credited and decreased when debited.

Your roommate, a marketing major, thinks that debit means decrease and credit means increase.
And, that every account can be debited and credited and as result, every account can have both
a debit and a credit balance. Explain to your roommate (1) the meaning of debit and credit; (2)
which accounts can only be debited, which can only be credited, and which can be both debited
and credited; and (3) which accounts normally have debit balances and which credit balances.
Solution 203
The terms debit and credit mean the left and right side, respectively, of every account. Some
accounts such as Dividends and Expenses are only debited; other accounts such as Common
Stock and Revenues are only credited; and finally, some accounts such as Cash, Accounts
Receivable, and Accounts Payable can be debited and credited. Accounts with debit balances
include Assets, Dividends, and Expenses. Accounts with credit balances include Liabilities,
Common Stock, Retained Earnings, and Revenues.

A fellow classmate is confused about how debits and credits relate to the basic accounting
equation. State the basic accounting equation, convert it into the expanded accounting equation,
and then explain how it ties into the rules for debits and credits.
FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
The Recording Process
2 – 75
Solution 204
The basic accounting equation is:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity
The expanded equation divides Stockholders’ Equity into its various parts, reflecting the
stockholders investment, dividends, revenues, and expenses:
Assets = Liabilities + Common Stock + Retained Earnings – Dividends + Revenues – Expenses
This expanded equation can then be re-arranged to explain why certain accounts have debit (lefthand) balances, while other accounts have credit (right-hand) balances, as follows:
Assets + Dividends + Expenses = Liabilities + Common Stock + Retained Earnings + Revenues
The accounts on the left-hand side of the equation have left-hand, or debit, balances, while the
accounts on the right-hand side of the equation have right-hand, or credit, balances. Accounts
with debit balances are increased with debits and decreased with credits, while accounts with
credit balances are increased with credits and decreased with debits.

Describe the process of preparing a trial balance. What is the purpose of preparing a trial
balance? If a trial balance does not balance, identify what might be the reasons why it does not
balance. If the trial balance does balance, does that ensure that the ledger accounts are correct?
Explain.
Solution 205
The process of preparing a trial balance consists of (1) listing the account titles and their debit or
credit balances in the order in which they appear in the general ledger, (2) totaling the debit and
credit columns, and (3) proving the equality of the total debits and total credits. The primary
purpose of the trial balance is to prove the equality of the debits and credits after posting. A trial
balance also uncovers errors in journalizing and posting because errors in journalizing and
posting cause a trial balance not to balance. A trial balance does not prove that all transactions
have been recorded or that the ledger is correct. The trial balance may balance even when (1) an
entire transaction is not journalized, (2) a correct journal entry is not posted, (3) a journal entry is
posted twice, (4) incorrect accounts are used in journalizing or posting, or (5) offsetting errors are
made in recording the amount of a transaction or posting to the ledger.

A classmate who is a computer science major thinks that accountants are obsolete. They state
that computers can do the entire process without any human assistance.
Discuss the steps in the recording process and indicate what role the computer plays in that
process.
Solution 206
The initial step in the recording process is to analyze each transaction. This is done by analyzing
the source documents to determine which accounts were affected. The computer is not able to
perform this step. The second step is to enter the transaction in the journal using a journal entry.
The computer is not able to perform this step and does not know if the correct accounts are being
debited and credited, nor if the correct amounts were entered. It is only able to test the equality of
the debits and credits comprising the entry. The final step is to transfer the journal entry to the
specific accounts in the ledger (posting). The computer can perform this step efficiently and
effectively.

Solution 207
The basic steps in the recording process are:
1.
Analyze each transaction. In this step, business documents are examined to determine the
effects of the transaction on the accounts.
2.
Enter each transaction in a journal. This step is called journalizing and it results in making a
chronological record of the transactions.
3.
Transfer journal information to ledger accounts. This step is called posting. Posting makes

All recordable transactions are initially recorded in the journal. Discuss the contributions that the
journal makes to the recording process.
Solution 208
The journal makes several significant contributions to the recording process: (1) It discloses in
one place the complete effects of a transaction; (2) It provides a chronological record of
transactions; and, (3) It helps to prevent and locate errors because the debit and credit amounts
for each entry can be readily compared.

A bookkeeping student has come to you for tutoring on the recording process. They are confused
about the relationship between the chart of accounts and the ledger. Explain the purpose of the
chart of accounts and the general ledger. In your explanation indicate the relationship between
these two items as well.
Solution 209
The chart of accounts lists all of the accounts that a company uses and their account numbers
that identify their location in the ledger. The numbering system used to identify the accounts
usually starts with the balance sheet accounts followed by the income statement accounts.
The general ledger contains all of the accounts of a company and their respective balances at
any point in time. The ledger is organized by account number with assets shown first, then
liabilities, stockholders’ equity, revenue, and expense accounts.

The process of transferring the information in the journal to the general ledger is called posting.
Explain the posting process, including the importance of the journal page number and the
account numbers.
Solution 210
The posting process begins with locating the account(s) being debited in the general ledger. Then
entering the date of the entry, the journal page number where the entry originated and debit
portion of the entry in the date, reference and debit columns, respectively. Once this done, the
account number(s) of the account(s) being debited is (are) entered in the reference column in the
journal. Next, the credit portion of the journal entry is posted to the appropriate accounts in the
ledger following the same steps as noted for the debit portion.

During a study session, a classmate states that it is not necessary to make journal entries and
then post them to the ledger. They state that it is sufficient to analyze the transaction and simply
record the information in T-accounts.
What is your response to this statement? Be brief, yet concise.
Solution 211
You have a very good point regarding the steps of the accounting cycle. If a company only has a
few transactions, it might be possible to simply analyze them and then record each in T-accounts.
However, nearly all businesses have many transactions each day. There must be a systematic
way to process these transactions. The steps of the accounting cycle represent this process.
After analyzing each transaction, a journal entry needs to be prepared. The journal represents a
chronological listing of every transaction for a business. This allows users to review past
transactions. Your approach does not leave a trail that can be reviewed at a later date. Once the
journal entries are made, posting allows each line of the journal to be transferred into the ledger.
This process increases and decreases individual accounts in the ledger. At the end of the
accounting period, the balance of each account is determined and the trial balance is prepared.
Based on your approach, if someone saw a credit to cash for $10,000 and wondered what the
debit was, that person would have to go through every ledger account to locate the corresponding
debit. By having a general journal, the person can view the entire transaction, thus easily seeing
the account that was debited.
Your approach may work for a very simple business, but it would result in problems for the
majority of businesses and accountants.

Jim Coleman, Jr. was appointed the manager of Maris Properties, a recently formed company
that manages residential rental properties. Linda Grider is the accountant. She prepared a chart
of accounts based on an analysis of the expenditures of the company. Two of the largest
expense categories are Travel and Entertainment. Mr. Coleman believes that it is important to
maintain a presence in the social life of the city. In this, he sharply differs from his father, Jim
Coleman, Sr. The elder Mr. Coleman has set up Maris Properties in order to test his son’s
management skills before allowing him to manage the more lucrative commercial property
business. Mr. Coleman, Sr. provided the capital for Maris, and maintains close contact with the
company. He allowed his son, however, to hire his own employees.

Mr. Coleman has asked Ms. Grider to change the names of the Travel and Entertainment
Expense accounts to Property Development. He hopes to deflect his father’s attention away from
the amount he has spent on travel and entertainment until he has proven that his methods work.
When Ms. Grider resisted, he reminded her that he, not his father, hired her. He also reminded
her that she had been enthusiastic about his business plans when she was hired.
Required:
1. Who are the stakeholders in this situation?
2. Should Ms. Grider agree to the change in the Travel Expense and Entertainment Expense
accounts to Property Development? Explain.
Solution 212
1. The stakeholders in this situation include
Mr. Coleman, Jr.
Linda Grider
Mr. Coleman, Sr.
Bankers and others who might rely on the financial statements
2. Ms. Grider definitely should not agree to the name change. The intention of the person
making the change is to deceive someone who has a right to know the affairs of the business,
fully and completely. Though Ms. Grider was hired by Mr. Coleman, Jr., and though she may
agree with his business methods, she cannot be a party to such deceit.

A classmate is considering dropping their accounting class because they cannot understand the
rules of debits and credits.
a. Can the student be successful in the course without an understanding of the rules of debits
and credits?
b. Explain the rules of debits and credits in a way that will help them understand the rules.
Solution 213
a. Accounting is based on the double-entry system. This system records the dual effect of each
transaction in the appropriate accounts, thus keeping the accounting equation in balance.
Each transaction is analyzed and recorded using this dual effect system. If you do not have
this basic understanding, the remaining chapters will become increasingly more difficult. You
will not have the ability to make journal entries for the many new topics in these upcoming
chapters.

(cont.)
b. You may be trying to memorize the rules of debits and credits, only to discover that this does
not work. Here are some other ways to master this very important topic:
•
Make sure that you understand the accounting equation. Assets equal the total of
liabilities and stockholders’ equity. Stockholders’ equity is not an account but rather a
group of accounts that includes stockholders’ investment, revenues, expenses, and
dividends. Common stock, retained earnings and revenues cause stockholders’ equity to
increase while expenses and dividends cause stockholders’ equity to decrease.
•
Next, make sure that you understand the accounting meaning of the terms debit and
credit. In accounting, debit means left and credit means right. Don’t try to add any more to
these definitions.
•
Then, work with the rules for debits and credits. These rules determine whether a debit or
credit increases or decreases an account. Start with assets. Assets are increased with a
debit and thus decreased with a credit. Think about the Cash account—when cash is
received, the account is increased with a debit. When cash is paid, the account is
decreased with a credit. The remaining accounts are on the right side of the equal sign in
the accounting equation. All of the other rules for debits and credits keep the equation in
balance. Liabilities, Common Stock, Retained Earnings and Revenues are all increased
with credits. Expenses and Dividends are the two accounts that cause stockholders’
equity to decrease, thus they must be increased with a debit.
