How do these rules relate to the accounting equation? 1) Asset accounts are increased by debit entries and decreased by credit entries 2) Liability accounts are increased by credit entries and decreased by debit entries 3) Permanent owner’s equity (or capital) accounts are increased by credit entries and decreased by debit entries. Temporary owner’s equity accounts have the following rules: a. Withdrawal accounts are increased by debit entries and decreased by credit entries b. Revenue accounts are increased by credit entries and decreased by debit entries c. Expense accounts are increased by debit entries and decreased by credit entries This relates to the accounting equation as the double entry rule states that in the recording of a transaction, the total amount of the debit entries must be equal to the total amount of the credit entries for the transaction, just as how in the accounting equation the assets have to be equal to liabilities and owner’s equity. 5.9 What is an adjusted trial balance? Why is it used? An adjusted trial balance is a listing of all the account titles and balances contained in the general ledger after the adjusting entries for an accounting period have been posted to the accounts. The reason for preparing the adjusted trial balance is to ensure the adjusting entries were done correctly. This is the last step before preparing financial statements that are used by you, your creditors and your shareholders to monitor the performance of your business. If the balances entered into the financial statements are incorrect, the statements themselves will be inaccurate.
