Document Summary

Notes payable different from accounts payable because liability is evidenced by a promissory note or bill of exchange. = liabilities + issued capital + opening retained profits + net profit dividend. = liabilities + issued capital + opening retained profits + revenue expenses . Expenses are recognised in the period when service received. Sum of the debit balance must equal credit balance. Trial balance is a list of account balances to make sure debit = credit. An account is a record of the dollar amount comprising a particular asset, liability, equity, revenue or expense. Net effect of these amounts is a debit or credit and is called the accounts balance. Since profit is a part of retained profit which is an equity account and therefore credit account on the balance sheet, anything helping profit (revenue) is a credit. One way of decreasing retained profits is declaring dividends which results in a debit entry.
