What entry (debit or credit) would you make to: (a) increase revenue (b) decrease in expense, (c) record drawings (d) record the fresh capital introduced by the owner. |

Answer» • Increase in revenue Increase in revenue is credited as it increases the capital. Capital has credit balance and if capital increases, then it is credited. • Decrease in expense Decrease in expense is credited as all expenses have debit balance. If expense decreases, then it is credited. • Record drawings Capital has credit balance; if the capital increases, then it is credited. If capital decreases, then it is debited. Drawings are debited as they decrease the capital. • Record of fresh capital introduced by the owner – credit Capital has credit balance, if capital increases, then it is credited. The introduction of fresh capital increases the balance of capital, and so, it is credited. |
