Hello, in this presentation we will discuss the general ledger. At the end of this, we will be able to define what the general ledger is. We’ll list components of the general ledger and explain how the general ledger is used. When looking at transactions in terms of journal entries and posting those journal entries in track prior presentations, we were posting those journal entries mainly to a worksheet in order to see a quick computation over the beginning balance and what is happening to that balance, posting it to a format of a trial balance than an adjusting column and then an adjusted trial balance. Note, however, that we typically think of the journal entries being posted to a general ledger. The general ledger can be very complex when we look at it which is why it is often useful to not look at it when we first start posting the transactions but to see that how those transactions affect interest Visual accounts.

Remember, the ending goal, the ending process of the accounting been to compile the data in such a way to create the finance financial statements.

Rules for Using Debits & Credits 210

When considering these rules that will be applied, the rule will be very simple to apply once we understand the normal balances or have memorized or are using a cheat sheet in order to know what those normal balances are. There’s no getting around just memorizing the normal balances. That’s where most of the time will take place. Once we know what those normal balances are, we’re going to want to do things to those normal balances. We’re going to want to be increasing or decreasing those normal balances in some way.
Debits & Credits 205
Hello in this presentation we will discuss debits and credits. Objectives at the end of this we will be able to define debits and credits list account normal balances and explain how debits and credits work. First we want to take a look at the double entry accounting system and recognize that the double entry accounting system can be represented in multiple different ways including as we have seen before the accounting equation meaning that assets equal liabilities plus equity, we can record transactions using this accounting equation as we have done in the past. That accounting equation is the basis behind the balance sheet where we have the assets liabilities and equity representing the fact that the balance sheet then would be in balance.
Accounts Payable Transactions Accounting Equation 170
So there’s gonna be problems later on where they’ll basically say, you know, you got to pay off something on account and you have to assume that the prior transaction took place. You got to kind of know in your mind how these things are related. So if we go through them by cycle that will help to achieve that goal. first transaction, we’re going to say purchase supplies on account. If we go through our list of questions, we’re going to say is cash affected? In this case? No, because we purchased it on account, then we’re going to ask what we’ve received, in this case supplies. So we got supplies, that is here, it’s going to be an asset. Therefore the asset is going to go up because we got more of them, then the only question is, what is the other account? It’s not a decrease to cash because we didn’t pay cash. And therefore we must be doing something somewhere else. That will be accounts payable, so accounts payable is going to increase by the same amount.
