Would you please remind me how the debits and credits system works? Why do the assets get debit increased and the liabilities and owner’s equity get debit decreased? I know the parts must balance and clear each other out, but reviewing my notes from a previous class, I’m having a hard time getting a perspective on the principle of the T-balance.
Without numbers it is hard to put this one together. Please help.
Thank you
