Interpreting T-Account Information It is important that accounting learners understand the information stored in each account. You know that: –Assets have debit balances. –Liabilities have credit balances. –Owner's equity has credit balances. You know that: –Assets increase with a debit and decrease with a credit. –Liabilities increase with a credit and decrease with a debit. –Owner's equity increases with a credit and decreases with a debit. Occasionally, however, an account will have an exceptional balance. An exceptional balance occurs when an account balance is not on the normal side. If Bank ended with a $100 credit balance, it would be exceptional.

Exceptional Account Balances An exceptional balance does not necessarily mean that an accounting error was made. Examine the following situations and try to determine the end result… 1.The company overpays an account payable 2.A regular A/R customer, with no account balance, returns merchandise for credit. 3.The company returns goods, for credit, to a supplier with whom they have no balance. 4.The bank account has a balance of $ Cheques issued total $3 500
