    What do you need help with. These are just basic journal entries. Just read the transaction for each day, then you need to analyze the transaction to figure out which accounts you have will be affected and how the account will be affected.

    For an example in the opening statement of your problem: The owner invested vehicles and cash into the business. What accounts are being affected? The vehicles are Transportation Equipment, cash is Cash and the investment will be the Owners Capital account. How are the accounts being affected? Vehicles is increasing your Transportation Equipment account, Cash is increasing the Cash account and the investment is increasing the Investment account. The amounts are given with the exception of the investment amount. Now all that needs to be done is to journalize the transaction. So:

    Debit Cash for 50,000 (increase)
    Debit Transportation Equipment for 20,000 (increase)
    Credit H. Labasan, Capital for 70,000 (increase)

    Now you should be able to do the journal entries for each transaction.

    Note: Your debit and credit total amounts should be the same.

    I don't know how to write the last part of each transaction like:

    Cash in Bank
    Transportation Equipment
    H.Labasan, Capital
    To record... this part here

    And what is the difference between accounts payable and receivable? If its withdrawn on account is it payable or receivable? Is withdrawn on account a debt? LOL I know, I'm a slow learner hihihi

    The last part of the transaction is just a summary of the transaction. I gave you the journal entry for your transaction in my previous post. The summary would be: To record the initial investment of the owner (or something similar).


    If you actually looked at my previous post you will notice that Cash would be cash in the bank and the amount was for 50,000 and your transportation amount was for 20,000 which were both debits that equal 70,000. Your offsetting credit account will be H. Labason, Capital for 70,000. Now your debits and credits are 70,000.

    An Account Receivable is when a customer purchases something in advance and will pay you later. This is when a customer owes you money, hence the word receivable. This is an asset because you (the company) has a right to what the customer owes you.

    An Account Payable is where your company, in this case Labason Rent-A-Car Business purchases something in advance and will pay for it later. This is where your company owes another company money, hence the word payable. This is a liability because your (the company) owes money to another entity.

    The Withdrawn on account in the May 8 transaction is the same thing as an account payable. Labason Rent-A-Car company has an account with a gasoline company, so when an Labason employee purchases gas for a Labason Vehicle it will be on the Company's account. Now the Labason company owes money to the gas station. The bill or the amount due to the gas company was paid on the My 14 transaction.

    A debit or credit just mean a left side or right side post on a T account. For Example in Accounts Payable when you make a purchase on credit or with a credit journal entry, which will be a credit to the T account for Accounts Payable. When you make a payment to the account you will have a debit journal entry, which will be a debit to the T account for Accounts Payable.

    Here is a guide to help you with what types of accounts will increase with a debit and what accounts will increase with a credit:

    Increase with a Debit and decrease with a Credit
    D - Debits
    E - Expenses
    A - Assets
    D - Dividends / Owners Drawing account

    Increase with a Credit and decrease with a Debit
    C - Credits
    U - Unearned Revenue
    R - Revenues
    L - Liabilities
    S - Shareholders Equity / Owners Capital account
