1. and 2. First, identify what account is used and then what type of account is used. Every account is either an asset, liability, capital, withdrawal, revenue, or expense account. Every transaction involves at least two accounts. Then determine whether the account increases or decreases. Each increase or decrease is recorded as a debit or credit in the T-accounts, following the rules of debit and credit. Net debits against credits to determine the balance and double-check to see if it is a normal balance for that account classification.
