Journal Entries

Journal entries are the basic recordings of business transactions in accounting. They are used to record the financial transactions of a company in chronological order. The journal entries consist of two or more accounts and are recorded in the general journal. Each entry consists of a debit and a credit. Debit and credit represent the increase or decrease in the balance of an account. The sum of all debits must be equal to the sum of all credits in a transaction.

Here is an example of a journal entry:

Date: January 1, 2023

Description: Purchased merchandise on credit from ABC Inc.

Account debited: Merchandise inventory (Asset account)

Account credited: Accounts payable (Liability account)

Amount: $10,000
