Double‐Entry Bookkeeping

Under the double‐entry bookkeeping system, the full value of each transaction is

recorded on the debit side of one or more accounts and also on the credit side of one or

more accounts. Therefore, the combined debit balance of all accounts always equals

the combined credit balance of all accounts.

Suppose a new company obtains a long‐term loan for $50,000 on August 1. The

company's cash account (an asset) increases by $50,000, so it is debited for this

amount. Simultaneously, the company's notes payable account (a liability) increases by

$50,000, so it is credited for this amount. Both sides of the accounting equation

increase by $50,000, and total debits and credits remain equal.

Some transactions affect only one side of the accounting equation, but the double‐entry

bookkeeping system nevertheless ensures that the accounting equation remains in

balance. For example, if the company pays $30,000 on August 3 to purchase

equipment, the cash account's decrease is recorded with a $30,000 credit and the

equipment account's increase is recorded with a $30,000 debit. These two asset‐

account entries offset each other, so the accounting equation remains in balance. Since

the cash balance was $50,000 before this transaction occurred, the company has

$20,000 in cash after the equipment purchase.
