How to record a journal entry the EASY way!

[@juliejones5909]

I have been a bookkeeper on and off for 30 years, so I understand what to do for journal entries. Still, the whole "debit/credit" language always confused me. That is until today! I found this video for an assignment to look for tricks to help with a journal entry. The up and down, action = reaction did it for me. I now understand why spending cash is recorded as a credit! Thank you.

[@itsnotif.itswhen]

One of the best accounting channels that I actually have the patience to listen to and can understand the logic behind accounting rules. Well done!

[@dabananaking09]

This has been my favorite accounting channel, currently working on my Bachelors and been stressing about not being able to know/memorize everything… so you saying that it’s okay and can even google a question helps relieve my stress!

[@mesha9638]

This is by far the best way to remember. I wish I would have had a professor to explain it like this when I was in school, but I graduated in accounting/finance. Thanks for explaining this concept well.

[@ivyworth862]

This is the best description I've seen so far. It's very helpful, and I'm currently using it for a homework assignment.

[@andrenaroschelle3154]

This video was very helpful. I'm in the first semester of my MBA program with accounting being one of my classes and until I saw the acronym DEALER just now I could not grasp the concept of what to debit and what to credit. THANK YOU so much for this!!!

You're going to hate your life once you get that cushy accounting job. You're gonna be miserable.

[@leztawh9890]

I have watched so many videos on journal entries to understand it. After watching this I get it, the "Action=Reaction to every business transaction" 🙏Thank you so much.

[@Lee3_mach]

Wooow Action and Reaction and DEALER really helped me. And to know that thinking through it does not make you look stupid is a bonus. Thank you soooo much for your tips

My high school teacher used to say DR the receiver and CR the giver. For example, in scenario 2, salary is receiving, and cash is giving, therefore, we DR salary and CR cash.

[@tamannabose1708]

Yea, it's one of the golden rules of accounting (personal accounting rules: debit the receiver credit the giver)

Great breakdown of accounting rationale for journal entries. If you understand DEALER and can grasp accruals and deferrals, you can think your way through 95% of transactions for journal entry. Btw love the connection to Newtonian mechanics ( I’m a BioE major 😎)

Thank you for this video! Having the explanation for the action=reaction is very helpful. I am wondering however, why is it Dr and Cr? It seems like Cr would be short for credit but why is it Dr? Thank you again for your time!

[@sandugvr]

Office supplies can be considered as an expense? Or only as an Asset .

[@nl6930]

The "Dealer" system is a bit confusing to me. In Italy we analyze each transaction in its two aspects: economic (is it a cost or a revenue) and/or financial (credit or debt). These two categories work in an opposite way so, if economic is positive it goes to the right (credit ), negative goes to the left. On the other hand, financial accounts follow the opposite rule: positive to the left, negative to the right. Anyway, thank you, really helpful to understand the "English way"

[@ladynatashanicole]

I'm wondering why none of my professors mentioned the dealer acronym, that would have made it so much easier to conceptualize. Thanks I'll keep that handy.

[@adamsaldana5462]

How about recording a business loan? Would it be a dr to cash and a cr to notes payable?

[@TheFinancialController]

Correct!

[@Sally-sy6um]

What are bill payments. Like accounting or legal fees... considered to be?

[@scoteaton6342]

Is it a service you're paying for? You're taking from your equity to gain an expense.

[@anira1504]

Hello could you please explain about consolidation entries, Business combination valuation entire

[@Bad_Fur_Day]

Great video. However, isn’t office supplies an expense that hits the P&L and not an asset on the balance sheet?

[@TheFinancialController]

Hi. In general, supplies are considered a current asset until the point at which they're used. Once supplies are used, they are converted to an expense.

[@xyz11zxc11]

@@TheFinancialController Most companies don't capitalize office supplies and instead expense it as its expected to be consumed in a short period of time and also the de minimis nature of the costs.

[@Conversation_Guy]

nice vid :)

[@bradleydavidgood]

What do you mean when you say assets have a debit nature? Sounds backwards to me every time i hear about what gets credited and debited. But no one ever explains that. And it seems backwards to credit cash when you paid a salary in your example.

[@rezzy920]

I hear DEALER a lot however I was always taught to know the acronym DEAD. Debit Expenses Assets and Dividends. Everything else has a natural credit balance.

[@MS-zp7bt]

So any of the abbreviated accts = DEALER can be be crossed over as Debit or Credit depending on the transaction right ??

[@lastnamefirst650]

Thank you!! Curious, I tend to overexplain stuff so I want to be more concise in my entries. What’s a good method for recording the nature of the transaction? For example, say I own a golf shop and a customer paid for lessons half in cash and half on account for 10 day credit terms. Would my wording say something like, ‘customer paid for lessons on account and in cash’ Or does it make more sense to say ‘customer x paid for lessons’ as we can already see which accounts are affected? Thank you for any help!

[@kiarasara7435]

explained it better than my professors

[@GM-ub8qy]

this makes sense, but I just started accounting in real life and we work with so many accounts that are not easy to know on which side of the balance sheet they belong.

[@TheFinancialController]

Try to watch videos on KZbin to learn

[@petertenay1785]

Wait so an expense is basically a current asset yes? Because when you think about it, an employee is an asset to a company... And an asset is an object that will bring future benefits to tge company... like purchasing a printer for the office...

[@timothysmith4343]

Can you go over the chart of accounts of different industries for classifying expenses for accounts payable? Example: like raw material freight in expense is classified as inventory, but what about freight out for a manufacturer? Still inventory? A retailer? Selling expense? Sometimes signs are classified as signage, but other times it is classified as supplies, advertising, building improvement or building maintenance.. Building a ramp for the disabled customers is supply or building maintenance, how about a ramp for disabled employees? Is there a difference between accrued telephone, telephone, communication account titles and if so, does it depend on the industry. A fence around an apartment complex is land improvement, but what about the security gate or the fence around the pool (a legal requirement) for safety and to keep non-residence out. What is coaching expense for a real estate agent? The repaving of parking lots? Capitalized to land (cannot be depreciated) or land improvement or building repair? Etc...
