The Recording Process Illustrated
To understand how to record a variety of transactions, consider the description and
analysis of the Greener Landscape Group's first thirteen transactions. Then see how
each transaction appears in the company's general journal and general ledger
accounts.
Transaction 1:On April 1, 20X2, the owner of the Greener Landscape Group, J. Green,
invests $15,000 to open the business. Therefore, an asset account (cash) increases
and is debited for $15,000, and the owner's capital account (J. Green, capital) increases
and is credited for $15,000.
Notice that the cash account has a debit balance and the J. Green, capital account has
a credit balance. Since both balances are normal, brackets are not used.
