(2) DEBIT
(3) CREDIT
Rules for using accounts
Accounts are assigned balance sides (Debit or Credit).
To increase any account, use the balance side.
To decrease any account, use the side opposite the balance.
Finding account balances
If total debits = total credits, the account balance is zero.
If total debits are greater than total credits, the account has a debit
balance equal to the difference of the two totals.
If total credits are greater than total debits, the account has a
credit balance equal to the difference of the two totals.

*In a sole proprietorship, there is only one equity account, which is called
capital. For that reason, the terms equity and capital are often used
interchangeably. (When corporations are discussed in detail, you will learn
many stockholders’ equity accounts.) Equity is an account classification
like assets. Owner’s Name, Capital, is the account title.

TEMPORARY ACCOUNTS
Temporary accounts are established to facilitate efficient accumulation of
data for statements. Temporary accounts are established for withdrawals,
each revenue, and each expense. Temporary accounts are assigned
balances based on how they affect equity.

Note:
Transactions during the period always increase the balances of these
temporary accounts since the transaction represent additional withdrawals,
revenues, and expenses. We will later learn how to move these amounts
back to the real account they affect → CAPITAL. At the end of the
accounting period, transferring withdrawals, revenues, and expenses back to
capital is the main use for the decrease side of the temporary accounts.
*The “Owner’s Name, Withdrawals” is the account title and the
classification of account is a contra-equity.
