Q :- 2. What is the Difference between Debit Side and Credit Side of a Journal Entry?
Actually, there is not debit side and credit side of a journal entry. We only debit and credit of two affected account in any journal entry. But for saving you from confusion of difference between debit side and credit side, we have imagine, there are two side of a journal entry.
For example, we have paid rent for the month of jan. 10000
In this transaction, rent account is the expense account. So, it is decrease of our liability. Decrease of liability will be debit. So, in journal entry, we can say, its position in debit side because when we make all the account in ledger, credit account will be debit side of rent account.
Bank account will be credited because our bank asset has decreased. So, decrease in the asset will be credited in journal entry.
Rent Account Debit 10000
Bank Account Credit 10000
In Account Equation
Asset Side ( Debit Side ) | Liability Side ( Credit Side )
Rent Account 10000 | Bank Account 10000
or
Rent is paid liability has decrease , So, if we will sow in liability side, we will show it as - 10000
Bank account's money transferred. It means, asset decreased. If we will show it in asset side, we will show it as -10000. That is reason, we have showed opposite side.
