25. What does “double-entry accounting” mean?
Question 3
What does “double-entry accounting” mean?
Every transaction has two sides: a debit (left) side and a credit (right) side. If a business were to buy supplies for cash, two things would happen. First, the amount of supplies would go up, and since supplies are assets, the increase to the Supplies account would be recorded as a debit. Second, the balance in the Cash in Bank account would go down, and since cash is an asset, the decrease in Cash in Bank would be recorded as a credit.
