The journal entry to record this transaction is |
Account Title | Debit | Credit |
Supplies | 950 | |
Cash | 950 |
Both supplies & cash are real accounts |
For recording transcations pertaining to real accounts,the accounting rule is |
Debit what comes in & |
Credit what goes out. |
so, under this we debit the supplies that have come in & |
Credit Cash that has gone out |
By recording as above, |
the supplies account which normally has a debit balance , increases by this additional debit of $ 950 & |
Cash that normally has a debit balance , decreases by $ 950 , due to the above crediting of the account |
satisfying the double entry -effect of book-keeping--(every debit /credit should have a corresponding credit/debit) |
Here, both supplies & cash have balances that are carried from period to period--so they will appear on the fiscal-year -end Balance sheet , as current assets. |
