    Discussion Questions

    1. The use of a transactions worksheet is impractical in actual practice because the record keeping and the calculation of totals becomes convoluted. This method is therefore not very efficient or convenient, especially for a business with a high volume of transactions.
    2. An account is an accounting record designed to classify and accumulate the dollar effect of financial transactions. In a simplified account called a T-account, the term "debit" is used to describe the left side of the account, while the term "credit" refers to the right side.
    3. The association of "good" and "bad" or "increase" and "decrease" with credits and debits is not a valid association. To an accountant, "debit" means only "place an amount of the left side of an account" and "credit" means only "place an amount on the right side of an account."
    4. A debit, which is always on the left side, records an increase in assets and expenses. A credit, which is always on the right side, records a decrease in assets and expenses. For example,
      1. If an asset like a truck is purchased for cash, the asset account "Truck" is debited and the Cash account is credited.
      2. If rent expense is incurred and paid with cash, the account "Rent Expense" is debited. The Cash account is credited.
    5. A debit, which is always on the left side, records a decrease in liabilities, equity, and revenue. A credit, which is always on the right side, records an increase in liabilities, equity, and revenue. For example,
      1. A cash sale is made. Cash is debited, Sales is credited.
      2. We incur an expense, so we debit the expense account and credit a liability account like Accounts Payable.
      3. We issue some share capital for cash. The general ledger account Share Capital is credited and Cash is debited.
    6. Assets, Expenses Liabilities, Equity, Revenues
      Increases are debited. Increases are credited.
      Decreases are credited. Decreases are debited.
    7. A trial balance is a list of each account contained in the general ledger of an entity, together with its individual debit or credit balance. It is prepared in order to establish the equality of debits with credits before the preparation of the financial statements
    8. A trial balance is used to prepare the financial statements. It shows the totals of each revenue and expense account that will appear on the income statement and the asset, liability, and equity balances that will appear on the balance sheet.
    9. A general journal is a chronological record of an entity's financial transactions. It is often called a book of original entry because each transaction is recorded in the general journal first before it is posted to the entity's accounts.
    10. The positioning of a debit-credit entry in the journal is similar in some respects to programming methods. In the following entry,
      General Journal
      Date Account/Explanation F Debit Credit
      Dec. 1 Accounts Receivable XX
      Sales XXX
      To record a sale on account.

      The positions represent the instructions "Post $XX to the debit side of the Accounts Receivable account" (thus increasing the accounts receivable) and "Post $XXX to the credit side of the Sales account" (thus increasing sales).

    11. A general ledger is a book that contains the separate asset, liability, equity, revenue, and expense accounts of an entity. It is often referred to as a book of final entry and it is prepared so that the balance of each account can be found easily at any time.
    12. A chart of accounts is a list of account names and numbers used in the general ledger, normally listed in the order of presentation on the financial statements. For example, accounts that appear on the balance sheet or on the income statement are grouped together. This facilitates the preparation of the financial statements.
    13. The steps in the accounting cycle involve analyzing transactions, journalizing them in the general journal, posting from the general journal into the general ledger, preparing the trial balance, and generating financial statements are steps followed each accounting period. These steps form the core of the accounting cycle. Additional steps involved in the accounting cycle will be introduced in Chapter 3.
