Document Summary

Purpose of the question: teach students how to categorize accounts into their proper element (remember - elements = a, l, she, r, e). Start counting it or divide it into different categories??!! That is what you should do with any financial statement question, regardless of what format it is provided. For example, if you are given financial statements that are complete but incorrect, stop trying to look for the errors. Instead, categorize each account into the different elements (assets, liabilities, shareholders" equity, revenue, expenses). Once you have a definition of the account look for the definition of the element that matches. Remember - any f/s question is just a categorizing question - treat it as such and you will do much better. To categorize: put a code next to the account. For instance, ca = current assets, cl - current liabilities, etc. Once you have developed it always use the same codes for other questions.

I am starting an accounting right now, and apart from my teacher not explaining anything whatsoever in class, I have a test in it on thursday and I desperately need help! I know that assets= liabilities + equity, but what I don't know is how to deduce what category goes to which. For instance, capital= revenue-expenses. Well, what categories are considered to be under revenue? I feel like it is a never ending circle of categorization that is never solved. I hate accounting, please help!
