Liabilities and stockholders" equity are on the right. Whichever increases the account"s balance (a debit or a credit) is that account"s normal balance. After analyzing, enter transactions into the accounting system. The format used to record the dollar amount of change in each account that is affected by a transaction. The accounts that are affected by the transaction are either debited or credited for the amount of increase or decrease. A journal entry must have at least two lines, one debit and one credit. There may be multiple debits and/or credits in a journal entry. But the total debits must equal the total credits. The debit and credit rules tell us how to increase and decrease the accounts in a journal entry.
