1. You received cash from an investment, so your two accounts are Cash and Owners Capital.
2. You received cash for providng servcies, so your two accounts are Cash and Accounting Fees Earned.
3. You provided services on account, so your two accounts are Accounts Reveivable and Accounting Fees Earned.
4. You paid for adverstising, so your two accounts are Advertising Expense and Cash.
5. You received a payment from a customer, so your two accounts are Cash and Accounts Receivable.
6. The owner withdrew cash from the company, so your acocunts are Owners Drawing and Cash.
7. You received your telephone bill, so your accounts are Telephone Expense and Accounts Payable.
8. You paid your telephone bill, so your two accounts are Accounts Payable and Cash.
You need to set-up T accounts for every account and post the above transactions to your T accounts. The top of a T is for your account title, the left side of the T is for your debits, and your right side of the T is for your credits.
The following is a guide to help you know what acocunts have a normal debit balance or a normal credit balance:
D - Debits
E - Expense
A - Assets
D - Dividends or Owners Drawing
C - Credits
U - Unearned Revenue
R - Revenues
L - Liabilities
S - Shareholders Equity or Owners Equity.
A debit will increase an account with a normal debit balance and a credit will increase an account with a normal credit balance.
A credit will decrease an account with a normal debit balance, while a debit will decrease an account with a normal credit balance.
After you post your transactions to your T accounts, you need to total your debits and credits for each T account then subtract a debit from your credits or your credits from your assets to get your ending T account balance.
