hello everybody. we are back again. we're going to do a journal entry for this
[7]
one. it's just something that I was thinking about. that really that I had a
[13]
hard time when i started, Accounting and I don't really know if i explicitly touched
[20]
on it. so we're going to do a journal Entry here. Buy a desk for
[29]
$500 and so, now the way you get better at this is just, you know
[36]
repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, and you know, after a while,
[42]
you won't even to have to think. you write, DC/ADE/LER and after I mean
[49]
thousands of journal entries, hundreds whatever, your not even going to have to
[54]
think, Debits on the left hand side. Credits on the right hand side
[61]
positive Assets is a Debit
[72]
wanted to touch on, is that i think i said before, these are the
[77]
positive, these are positive sides,
[86]
the Debits and Credits have to equal. you're going to have at least one debit
[99]
maybe more, at least one credit, maybe more, and they're always going to equal
[105]
I've already touched on before that, Neither Debit or Credit
[115]
not one's good
[118]
I mean, Debits not good or bad, Credits not good or bad. it's just the left side or the
[123]
right side, what i don't think I've talked about before, is that you can have
[129]
Assets that are positive over here, but you can have
[136]
One Journal Entry With
[143]
two Assets. one is going to be positive. so thats going to be the debit
[150]
side. and then another Asset is going to be negative. that's going to the Credit side
[156]
It kind of threw me off before. You can have a Journal Entry With 2 Assets
[169]
that's fine, you just have to have
[176]
a Debit and Credit. and we're already at like three minutes, so let me just do
[182]
this one.
[183]
ok, you buy a desk for $500
[186]
alright, so i always like to do my cash first
[192]
so, five hundred dollars cash, now that's an asset right????
[200]
cash is an asset. ok, and you bought it for five hundred dollars, so that's
[207]
leaving, so positive side Asset over here is debit, so it's leaving, so that's going
[216]
to be a credit, because it's negative cash, so this is this is positive
[222]
Debits positive, the Credits going to be a negative asset over here, right??
[229]
so, that's going to be the credit, going to have cash
[239]
500
[242]
Sorry, i think you put the Dollar amount first when doing a Journal Entry
[252]
You write a Journal Entry like this
[258]
the Dollar amount first but that's gonna be our credit. now, what are we getting ???
[268]
We are buying a desk. so we're getting, we're getting, an Asset that's a desk so you're
[279]
going to have the the positive over here, because it's a, we're going to debit the
[287]
asset, that's going to be a $500 desk over there, so you see that we have.
[298]
these are both Assets, and ones you know
[306]
cash is leaving, so we have a negative Asset, and we have a positive Asset, but
[310]
the Journal Entry is of 1 category, is an asset, so and of course that will
[322]
match for our Account Equation, because you get more of one asset, and less of
[329]
one asset, so and go i'm going to do Accounting Equation:
[337]
Asset = Liabilities + Equity is the Accounting Equation. that's the Balance
[341]
Sheet
[342]
this is the Income Statement
[346]
anyways we are six minutes in, I wanted to do this fast, but anyways, just wanted to
[353]
reiterate, the Debits are always going to equal the credits, always, always,
[358]
always, always, always, and you can have 20, a lot of times you
[366]
have a lot of expenses 20 Debits
[370]
1 Credit, or vice versa, but they're always going to equal, but i want you
[380]
to also know, that it doesn't matter if you know this journal entries is comprised of
[385]
assets, that's it, and you know the DC/ADE/LER which i always
[393]
do, DC/ADE/LER that's the positive sides, so you know, so like in this
[408]
example the cash asset is leaving, so that's a negative, that's a credit,
[418]
if anybody likes these examples, you know, i'll just do, maybe
[422]
some examples, and we can go over them and stuff, but I anyways, you a great day !!!!!!
