    3. Just watched this today, trying to do my school assignment. All I can say is WELL DONEE!!! Oh my goodness! Thank you! Keep up the good work!

  1. Thanks for this video you upload, I love math subject but then I sucks in basic accounting…trying to have additional knowledge

  2. First of all, thank you for posting this.

    Could you please give an example of someone taking a mortgage out and the lender requires an order to pay and closing summary. (debts to be paid out with funds from mortgage). How would you put this together before receiving the mortgage funds?

  3. Assets is what the business is working with equipment, building, inventory etc. and liabilities/ equity is who owns it banks, suppliers, shareholders, founders etc. This makes more sense.

  4. Hi

    This is a excellent presentation of the basics.

    Some people struggle with transactions within the same side eg the example you presented
    Dr Stock
    CR Bank

    The only thing that makes it difficult when i teach new starters is that you have balance sheet items and profit and loss items – i try to explain that expenses are temporary one off items for this financial years earnings while balance sheet are long term or accumulative additions to Assets and Liabilities – but i am sure you will have a well sorted video on that.

    While A=P+L ( how it is spoken In Australia ) i give all new starters a single journal entry to learn

    DR Bank
    CR Sales

    From there they can expand and reverse eg – sales on terms
    DR Account Receivables
    CR Sales

    When they pay
    DR Bank
    CR Accounts Recievables ( journals both in the assets side essentially the same as when you buy stock and bank goes down )

    I need to do some “binge watching” , but on the 3 videos i have seen you explain it well

    Regards
    George

  5. I get that it normally balances. But how does tax and interest on loans (liabilities) increase assets? Also let’s say some equipment gets stolen or damaged, your liabilities or equity don’t go down do they?

  6. Thank you so much !

    My course directly told me that the sale of merchandise of $100 :

    1) Increases cash by $100
    2) Increases Retained Earnings by $100

    I was unable to reconcile this until I watched your video !

    Also,

    Stuff that business owns = Stuff that business Owes…. so powerful yet simple !!
