    Step one make sure your accounts balances are a normal Debit or Credit. Your normal debit balances are expenses, assets, dividends, and drawing accounts. Your normal credit balances are unearned revenues, revenues, liabilities, owners equity accounts.

    Step 2 add $100 to the debit balance of the accounts. Note: one account will decrease the balance the other accounts will increase the balance

    Step 3 correct the balance of the affected accounts

    Step 4 add $300 debit to the affected balance

    Step 5 add the amount to the capital account and add the debit amount to the drawing account.
