To determine
T-Account: It is a statement that records the transactions in chronological order. The left-hand side of the account is called the debit side and the right-hand side of the account is called the credit side. This account is in the form of ‘T’ so it is called T-account.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1Q
The following are the parts of the T-Account:
- The title of the account
- The left-hand side or the debit side of the account.
- The right-hand side or the credit side of the account.
Explanation of Solution
- The title of the account: The title of the account is basically the name of the account. The title also reveals the nature of the account. It is important to know the nature of the account in order to apply the rules of accounting.
- The Debit side: The left-hand side of an account is called as debit. When an asset, expense or loss increases it is debited whereas when any liability, revenue or income and equity decrease they are also debited.
- The Credit side: The right-hand side of an account is called as credit. Liabilities, equities and incomes, and revenues are credited when they increase while assets, expenses, and losses are credited when they decrease.
Conclusion
Hence there are three major parts of T-accounts that are the title, the debit side, and the credit side.
