Chapter 2, Problem P2.35BPGB
To determine

T-Account: A T-account is a graphical representation of a general ledger account. The left-side of T-account shows the debit entries and the right-side of T-account shows the credit entries. Therefore, the journal entries are posted to the T-accounts accordingly.

Closing Balance in a T-account shows the difference between the credit and debit balances. It is the closing balance of the account and is taken to the trial balance.

Trial Balance: Trial Balance is a statement which contains all the closing debit and credit balances of ledger accounts and is prepared at the end of an accounting period. In Trial Balance, the total of debit balance is equal to the total of credit balance.

Journal entries are based on three following golden rules of accounting:

(i) ‘Debit the receiver and credit the giver’ – This is used in case of personal accounts. Personal accounts include persons (natural or legal) with whom the business does dealings. When a person receives anything from the business, he is called the receiver and his account is debited in the books of accounts. When a person gives anything to business, he is called the giver and his account is debited in the books of accounts. The giver’s accounts are mostly represented as payable accounts in the books of accounts. The receiver’s accounts are represented as receivable accounts in the books of accounts. Also, the prepaid accounts and accrued accounts are represented as personal accounts because they are indirectly linked to the person.

(ii) ‘Debit what comes in and credit what goes out’ - This is used in case of real accounts. Real accounts include tangible and intangible goods or property like cash, machinery, land and building etc. which either comes into the business or goes out of the business. When it comes into the business, it is debited in the books of accounts. When it goes out of the business, it is credited in the books of accounts.

(iii) ‘Debit all expenses and losses and credit all incomes and gains’ – This is used in case of nominal accounts. Nominal accounts include entity’s expenses, loss, income and gains. When a business earns income and gains, the account of that income is credited in the books of accounts. When a business incurs expenses or suffers loss, the account of that expense or loss is debited in the books of accounts.
