Financial Accounting Chapter 2 Review

Accounts have three parts: a title, a debit side, and a credit side. Debiting an account means entering an amount on the left side, while crediting an account means entering an amount on the right side. The equality of debits and credits provides the basis for the double-entry accounting system. Assets, expenses, and dividends have a normal debit balance, while liabilities, share capital, and retained earnings have a normal credit balance. The journal is the book of original entry where each transaction's debit and credit effects on specific accounts are recorded.
