Hi,

Just wondering been having some problems with my Balance Sheet balancing, I was wondering if the Trial Balance balances, does that mean that the balance sheet will balance? (given that I do everything correctly??)

Also just a quick question while I'm asking, regarding depreciation in T-Accounts, I have worked out the depreciation charge for one month as I'm only doing the T-Accounts for one month. In my mind I should Debit the items T-Account example Motorbike. And Credit the Depreciation T-Account, is this correct?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, that is exactly what it means.



You would Debit the Depreciation Expense account and you would Credit the Accumulated Depreciation Account. Accumulated Depreciation is a contra-asset, therefore when adding to it, you credit it.
