Summary of Study Objectives

Chapter 2

2. Define debits and credits and explain their use in recording business transactions.The terms debit and credit are synonymous with left and right. Assets, drawings, and expenses are increased by debits and decreased by credits. Liabilities owner’s capital, and revenues are increased by credits and decreased by debits.

3. Identify the basic steps in the recording process.The basic steps in the recording process are:

(a) analyze each transaction for its effects on the accounts.(b) enter the transaction information in a journal,(c) transfer the journal information to the appropriate accounts in the ledger.

4. Explain what a journal is and how it helps in the recording process.The initial accounting record of a transaction is entered in a journal before the data are entered in the accounts. A journal:

(a) discloses in one place the complete effects of a transaction,(b) provides a chronological record of transactions, and(c) prevents or locates errors because the debit and credit amounts for each entry can be easily compared.

5. Explain what a ledger is and how it helps in the recording process.The ledger is the entire group of accounts maintained by a company. The ledger keeps in one place all the information about changes in specific account balances.

6. Explain what posting is and how it helps in the recording process.Posting is the transfer of journal entries to the ledger accounts. this phase of the recording process accumulates the effects of journalized transactions in the individual accounts.

7. Prepare a trial balance and explain its purposes.A trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances at a given time. Its primary purpose is to prove the equality of debits and credits after posting. A trial balance also uncovers errors in journalizing and posting and is useful in preparing financial statements.
