Thank you so much for your video! But I don't get couple things. Why revenue is under credit and Expense under debit? When I think about credit I think owed and debit something owned. Should be expense same side as liabilities and revenue same column as asset? It's confusing to understand. 🤔

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

You are part of the way there: "When I think about credit I think owed and debit something owned" is correct for the balance sheet. You need to go through a good number of journal entries to see how things connect. I think my video on T accounts might help on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGK3dYGeqrV9gsU Example: if you record an invoice for cleaning services that the company received, you book Debit Cleaning expenses Credit Accounts Payable (a liability to the supplier) At the end of the accounting period, when we prepare the final income statement and the balance sheet, that debit in cleaning expenses affects (reduces) equity on the balance sheet. Per the accounting equation: assets equal liabilities plus equity kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYrUnWqPbrOheMk Hope this helps. Take it step by step!

in 2:30 sec you say the inventory shows debit balance but when we do accounting, as per above example it comes to credit right? below total of 150 in both side and less 30 with balance brought down 120$ in credit so 120$ + 30$ = 150$ in credit? please correct me

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

Hi Tony! Not quite following your reasoning there. Let me try to explain what is behind the story I tell about inventory in the video, and see if that helps explain it: You start the accounting period with a debit balance in inventory of 100 (carried over from the closing balance of the previous accounting period) You account for purchases of new inventory (leading to more inventory in the warehouse): debit inventory 50 credit accounts payable 50 You account for the inventory movement during a sales transaction (leading to less inventory in the warehouse): debit cost of goods sold 30 credit inventory 30 Sum of the debits in inventory 150 minus sum of the credits in inventory 30 = new ending balance of 120 debit. Maybe my video on the relationship between the income statement and the balance sheet can help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYvHkol7jZlkjbM or the video on how to record closing entries at the end of the accounting period kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYnMfH-ql5ynp6s

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

Hi LaToya! Take a look at my video on the relationship between income statement and balance sheet. It tells the story of starting a small company, with shareholders contributing equity, then starting operations, etc. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYvHkol7jZlkjbM It will start to make sense!

[@Dilhack]

If you think of it as what is owned vs what is owed, the *company* owns the Asset, but *owes* the equity to the owners/shareholders and the liabilities to creditors. Nothing in the company ultimately belongs to the company, but individuals or other companies. So an asset of the company is equity to its owners. That's how I've drawn the line at least...

@@TheFinanceStoryteller By how much should it increase or decrease?

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

It's just a figure of speech, for journalistic narrative. Not to be taken too seriously.

[@stevehursh9997]

Why is the word "debit" used to indicate an increase on an account, when the word actually means "to remove" or "take away from" just like it is used with a standard bank account?

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

Hello Steve! I agree that this can be a bit confusing. In accounting, asset accounts increase by recording more debits to it, and decrease by recording credits to it. Liability and equity accounts increase by recording more credits to it, and decrease by recording debits to it. In relation to bank statements, debit and credit positions are seen from the perspective of the bank's balance sheet. If you open a bank account and deposit cash with your bank, then the bank will record on their balance sheet a debit to cash, and a credit to liabilities (they owe you the money back). On the statement they provide you, it shows a credit balance: the bank owes money to you. If you then pay bills from your bank account, or retrieve money, you "debit" your account in their books. The outstanding balance that the bank owes back to you decreases.

[@towtruckn]

The literal definitions for credit and debit come from Latin meaning respectively "a thing entrusted to another" a credit, and "something that is owed," a debit, but as The Finance Storyteller points out with so many accounts its a little confusing. For the purposes of accounting despite their real meaning it is best to think of a Debit as being on the Left and a Credit as always being on the Right. When referring to the accounting equation Assets = Liabilities + Equity all associated Asset accounts on the Left always have a "Normal Debit Balance" and all Accounts on the right side relating to Equity, Revenue, and Liabilities have a "Normal Credit Balance". When referring to T accounts; once again the Debit side is always on the Left and the Credit side is on the Right irrespective of the normal balance of the account. Once you understand the acronym DC ADE LER and it finally clicks you'll get over the hump that truly stands in the way of most accounting students understanding the fundamentals of debits and credits.

Can somebody help me understand WHY a Debit is value coming in and a Credit is value going out? That feels very counterintuitive and it's causing me a mental block. To put it very simply- assets put money in your pocket. How is an asset a debit?

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

Hello Jonathan! I think things might become clearer if you go through the steps of setting up a new company in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYvHkol7jZlkjbM The statement "a Debit is value coming in and a Credit is value going out" is a bit too narrow. It depends on which financial statement gets affected by the debit or the credit!!! In the income statement, we like credits (such as revenue: billing our clients for goods delivered and/or services rendered) and dislike debits (such as the cost of electricity). On the balance sheet, it's the opposite: we like debits (having cash and machines as assets) and we don't like credits very much (such as accounts payable, which are invoices from suppliers that we haven't paid yet). Here's another example. If you buy a machine for $100K and put it on the balance sheet as an asset (debit), and plan to use it for 5 years without any expectation of residual value, then that $100K currently on the balance sheet will transfer into $20K per year in depreciation expenses for each of the 5 years. So in that case, the asset now reflects expenses in the future. Hope this helps!

[@anthonygirdler606]

You've said "Asset accounts increase by recording more debits to it, and decrease by recording credits to it" This is like saying "If you have $100 cash and you debit $10 you will have $110" This is obviously wrong. Please explain. Using a convoluted acronym and shoving things on certain sides of an equation does not explain anything. It just assumes we accept the initial premise....which I don't. Your inventory example is a classic case of assuming the understanding as part of creating the understanding. How is inventory a debit (debt?) this makes no sense. Surely if you have inventory you have credit ?

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

Having a credit balance in your bank account means the bank owes you money.

Use whatever suits you best! For me ADE LER is the more logical version in terms of "seniority" of the letters, as the accounting equation states that Assets = Liabilities + Equity (on the balance sheet), while Expenses and Revenue are in the income statement, and Dividends only come into play once the company has successfully completed a few (or many) profitable years.
