1. Introduction to Mastering Double-Entry Accounting: Hi, everyone. Welcome to Mastering double entry accounting, where we unlock the secret to understanding debits and credits, the foundation stone of accounting. If you don't get debits and credits, accounting will always feel confusing. But once you do, everything falls into place. In this class, I'll teach you a powerful secret hack that I prepared myself, which will help you master debits and credits once and for all. Join hundreds of students worldwide who are transforming their accounting skills with my courses. Cover the fundamental logic of debits and credits the secret trick, four crucial steps for perfecting double entries, attempting on entries, and a very interesting project. That's the icing on the cake. Let's cover the project. You have to visualize a business, understand the crucial entries or transactions a business has, and then you have to prepare double entries on those transactions. I know all this seems gibberish, but at the end of this class, I guarantee everything will be piece of cake for you. So are you ready to finally master debits and credits? Let's get started. Thank you very much. 2. Understanding the Double Entry System: Part 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to our next video in which we would be talking about the double entry system. Or, if I be more specific, the world of debit and credit. Debit and credit is the building block of the entire realm of accounting. So it's very, very important to have understanding about this concept. So let's dig right in. Before I teach you the concept of debit and credit, you have to understand about the concept of gain and loss, increase or decrease. So let's have a look at this. I'll be giving you an example. This person is Emily. By the way, her name would come again and again. And he's John. All right? Emily and John. Emily sold a car worth $10,000 to John. Okay? Emily sold a car worth $10,000 to John. Now, I want you all to understand a very important concept. Emily gave the car to John, right? So what decreased over year Emily's car, right? On the other hand, John gave $10,000 to Emily, right? So what did John lose? John lost the cash and gained the car. Emily gained the cash and lost the car. Okay? So in every transaction, we would find increase or decreases. Okay? Moving on. Debit and credit. Very, very important. Now, remember the concept I taught you of gain or loss, okay? Every transaction has multiple accounts. Now remember, every transaction has multiple accounts. If I take you back to Emily and John's example, here, there are multiple accounts. There's Emily, there's John, there's Car, okay? So in every transaction, in all these financial events, you would have multiple accounts. And these are recorded on the debit or credit side of the account respectively. Okay? Every increase or decrease is shown in the debit or credit side of the account respectively. Now, what's debit or credit? Very simple. Debit is the left side of the account and credit is the right side of the account. Okay? Now, every accounting class, whatever I taught you, I taught you the important definitions of all these assets, liabilities, incomes, expenses, capital and drains. They are either debited or credited. Now, I'm sure you're wondering something. What to debit and what to credit, right? Now, to help you understand, I made a rule which will make it very easy for you to remember what will be debited and what would be credited. That's called the Dead click Rule. Let's dig right in to the dead click rule now. D stands for debit. Now, what to debit? These three things would always be debited expenses, assets and drawings. These items would always go on the debit side. On the other hand, what items to credit? Liabilities, incomes and capital. These items would always go on the credit side. However, there is an important catch or her. This rule only applies on increases. If expenses, assets, and drawings increase, that would go on the debit side. If liabilities, incomes and capital increase, that will go on the credit side. If any of these items decrease, then this entire rule would be reversed. Like if an asset decreases, that would go on the credit side. If income decreases, that would go on the debit side. So the deadly cruel always applies on increases. Now you guys might be wondering another question. I'm always talking about increase or decrease. How will we identify whether an item is increasing or decreasing? So I'll try to help you understand this confusion. If anything is coming in the business, that signifies an increase. Now, always remember in accounting, we have to always focus on the business. We are not supposed to focus on the owner. We are not supposed to focus on any other party or any other thing happening in the world. We will only prioritize the business, and whatever is coming in the business, that's an increase. Whatever is going out of the business, that's a decrease. Oh, if the balance of an account increases, that signifies an increase as well. All right? If something is going out of the business, that's a decrease like in Emily and John's example. The cash went out, right? So that's a decrease. Or, if the balance of an account decreases, that signifies a decrease as well. Now, let's look at some examples to help you understand this concept. Example number one, very simple. Bought a car for $10,000 cash. Very simple. Now, the car is coming in the business. So this asset, your car is increasing. The cash, however, that's going out of the business. So your asset cash is decreasing. Okay? So number one, you have to look at the flow. If it's an inflow, that's an increase. If it's an outflow, that's a decrease. Then I spoke about balance increasing or decreasing, right? Let's look at the second example. A credit customer, you receivable. Johnny of ABC Limited paid them their entire balance. Now, your receivable, your customer who owed you money, finally settled his balance. He paid the entire amount owed to you. So that's a decrease, right? You're going to wipe off Johnny's name from your book. Johnny doesn't owe me money now. So Johnny's balance has decreased. Why? Because he paid the account. So I hope you understood how to identify an increase or decrease. I'll see you in the next video. Have a good time. Bye bye. 3. Double Entry System Part 2: Applying Debits and Credits: Hi, everyone. Welcome back to our next video in which we would be talking about double entries. Okay? A little more about double entries. This is the second part of the previous video. In this video, I will share some steps that I created, which would help you mastering the double entry concept because in accounting, double entries are everywhere in journal entries, in ledges, and in many more concepts. So how to master the double entry system, I prepared a four step model for you. Let's look at the first step. The first step, you have to ascertain the accounts involved. All right? In every transaction, like I told you, there are multiple accounts, so you have to first identify what are those accounts. The second step is put those accounts in their relevant natures. For example, if I found that a transaction involves a car, so I ascertain the account that it's a car. Step two is transfer that to its nature. CA is an asset. All right. Step three, determine the effects. I taught you how to identify increase and decreases, so we have to determine that. And the final step is apply the dead click rule. So I have separate videos on each steps. So I'll see you in the next video in which we would be discussing the first step, which is ascertaining the accounts involved. So see you in the next video. 4. Step 1) Ascertaining the Accounts Involved: Hi, everyone. Welcome back to our next video. In this video, we would be talking about the first step in mastering the art of double entries. And what's the first step? The first step is very simple. Ascertaining the accounts involved, and this is the first step. Now, remember, every business transaction involves two or more accounts, like we saw in the previous lesson in the gain or loss example, the first step is to identify these accounts. Now, how to do that, I made some examples for you. The first example started business with cash of $10,000. The owner invested $10,000 in the business. So in this transaction, the two items we can identify is start your business. And cash. It has a name. We'll do that in the next step. For now, just identify the two items. Example number two, paid rent with cash of $5,000. So in this transaction, there are two items as well. There's rent and cash. Next example, bought goods on credit from John for $5,000. So even in this transaction, there are two items. There's boat goods. And John because they were bought on credit from John. Next example, sole goods on credit to Jamie. So Jamie is our credit customer. So the two items we see in this transaction are sole goods and Jamie. Alright. So right now we are just identifying the two accounts. There can be more than two as well. We'll see that later on. Right, withdrew $5,000 cash for personal use. So the owner took out cash for his personal use. So in this transaction, there's cash and personal use. Alright. Moving on to the next example. Now, withdrew cash from the bank for office use. Now, this is not drawings. I told you that drawings are all those item withdrawn for personal use. Over here, the owner did not withdraw for his personal use. He withdrew for the business for the office use, right? So in this, there are two items. There's cash and bank. These are the two items in this transaction. Next example, John, our receivable, paid us $3,000 by cash related to the balance he owed us. We sold goods on credit to our customer John. Now he finally paid us the money. So in this transaction, there's John and cash. All right, John and cash. Moving on to our final example. Paid Alex our payable $5,000 by check relating to the balance we owed him. Now, our credit supplier to whom we as a business owed money, we finally settled the account. We finally paid him the amount. So in this transaction, there's Alex, our supplier, and check. These are the two items, right? So this was the first step. If you want to master double entries, follow my four step model. This was the first step, how to identify now we are moving on to the next step, and we would cover that in the next video. So see you guys in the next video. Thank you so much. 5. Step 2) Ascertaining the Nature of Accounts Involved: Hi, everyone. Welcome back to our next video. In this video, we would commence the second step involved in mastering the art of double entries. And the second step is ascertaining the nature of accounts involved. So in the first step, if you recall, we identified the two items in each transaction. That was the first step. Now what we have to do is ascertain the nature, categorize these items. What are they? All right? So started business is your capital. And then cash is your asset. All right? So these are the two accounts, capital and cash. Now let's move on to the next one. Over here, we identified rent and cash. So I will write the name of the accounts over here. Rent is an expense, right? And cash is your asset, isn't it? Moving on to the next example. Here we identified boat goods and John. So boat goods is your purchases. Why? Because we are buying these goods for reselling. The intention is to resell the items so you could earn revenue. And John is someone to whom we owe money. As a business, we have to pay John. So John is our payable. All right. John is our payable, but the name of the count would stay John. All right. Next, so goods on credit to Jamie. So sole goods is your sales. Jamie is someone to whom we have to receive the money. All right? Jamie owes us money. He's our credit customer. So he's our receivable. But the name of the count would be Jamie. All right? Next, cash and personal use. So the name of the account would be cash, which is your asset. And what is personal use called drawings. So the two accounts involved in this transaction are cash and drawings. Now, withdrew cash from the bank for office use. So in this, the two accounts are cash and bank, both are our assets, but the name of the account would be cash and bank. All right. Next, John, our receivable. So it's clearly mentioned that John is our receivable. So John is the receivable, our asset, and the name of the account would be John. Cash is our asset as well, but the name of the account would remain as cash. Now, let's see the final example, paid Alex our payable. So it's clearly mentioned that Alex is someone to whom we as a business owe money. Okay? So Alex is our payable. And the name of the count would remain as Alex, right? And then there's check the name of this account is bank. It's our asset. All right? So this was the second step. After we've identified the multiple items involved in the transaction, we have to ascertain what are they, and we've just done that. So see you in the next video in which we would begin the third step. Thank you very much. 6. Step 3) Determining the Effects (Increase or Decrease): My genius accountants, welcome to the next video. In this video, we would commence the third step involved in the art of mastering double entries. In the first step, we saw how to identify the multiple items involved in the transaction. In the second step, we ascertain the nature. What are these items? Are the assets, liabilities, incomes, expenses, et cetera, et cetera. So in this video, we are going to determine the effects whether these items are increasing or decreasing, this is very, very important because this is how we would determine what to debit and what to credit. Alright? So let's move on. The first example was started business with cash. Now we determined what these items were. Now it's time to find out whether they're increasing or decreasing before we even move on. I want you to recall what I taught you. I taught you how to identify whether these items are increasing or decreasing. So in order to do that, we have to understand the flow of the items. If something is flowing within the business, that's an increase. Something is flowing out, that's a decrease. That's the first thing. Second thing is to determine the balances. If the balances of those items are increasing, that's an increase. If the balances are decreasing, that's a decrease. So let's see. Started business with cash of $10,000. So over here, the cash. Now, there's one misconception. Students think that the owner is investing his money, so the money is going out. No, we have to always focus on the business. Don't focus on the owner. I told this many times. Don't look at the owner. If something is coming in the business, that's an increase. Where is the cash going? The cash is coming in the business. So that's an increase, all right? Cash is increasing. Our asset is increasing, and capital is also increasing. Why? Because the owner is investing his money. Now he has a stake or interest in the business. He has a share to the profits and losses of the business, because he's investing his money. He's got something to lose or gain. So the capital is increasing. All right. Next example, paid rent with cash. All right? Now, I'm paying something, so it's pretty evident that my cash is going out. You're right. So the cash is decreasing. What about the rent? Well, my rent is increasing. Why? Because as a business, I just incurred a bill. I got a bill. The bill came in the business. When I calculate my expenses at the end of the day. Oh, no, now I have to pay another expense of rent. So rent is increasing. All right. Next, bought goods. So the purchases is increasing because you have just bought goods. The goods are coming in the business. You have incurred a cost, which is increasing. But what about John? What about John? My liability is increasing because my debt is increasing. Now I have to owe money to John. It's an obligation. Next, sold goods on credit to Jamie. My sales is increasing because, Wow, I just did a sale. My earnings are rising. What about my receivable? Now, Mr. Jamie owes us money, right? We have to receive money from him. So my asset is increasing. All right? Next, withdrew cash for personal use. Don't get confused. The owner is getting cash, so you might think his cash is increasing. I said, focus on the business. The cash is going out of the business. That's a decrease. And the business just incurred a drawing. So the drawings are increasing. All right? Next example. Yeah, this is important. This is normally called a contra entry in cash books. Why? Because it's having multiple effects on the cash and bank. It's very simple. Let's go step by step. Okay? Don't overthink it. Widrew cash from the bank. All right? The cash came in the business, right? Why? Because the cash was for the office use. So something coming in the business, that's an increase because this cash would go in the cash still. When the owner counts his cash till, Oh, I got $15,000 more. You know? So the cash is increasing. What about the bank balance? The bank balance is decreasing, right? When you go to the bank, you take out money, so the amount would be deducted from your account, isn't it? So bank is decreasing. Next example, John Our receivable paid us. This is a very important yet easy transaction. Now, John is our receivable. Once upon a time, we sold goods on credit to him. He owed us money. So he finally paid us. He settled his account, right? So I have to wipe off John's name from my register that, Oh, you know, he doesn't owe me money now. He paid me. So John is decreasing. My receivable is decreasing because it's no more my receivable. What does receivable mean? Someone who owes you money, you have to receive. So I got it, isn't it? So, John is decreasing. What about the cash? The cash is flowing in the business. So that's an increase. Alright? Next and final example, paid Alex. Now, Alex, once upon a time, we bought goods on credit from him, so we owed him money. He signifies a debt obligation. Now we paid him. Do I still owe him money? No. So my liability is decreasing. Alright? What about my bank balance? I'm paying Alex money from my bank. That's an outflow. So the bank is also decreasing. I hope you will understood. In the next video, we are going to finish the final step, which is dead click. So see you all in the next video. Thank you very much. 7. Step 4) Applying the DEAD CLIC Rule: Hi, my genius accountants. Welcome to our next video. In this video, we are on the final step on mastering the double entries. So this step is applying the dead click rule. I told you guys the dead Click rule if you have problems, then review that video before watching this lesson. This is very, very important. Now, just to give you guys a quick recall, what was the dead click Rule? The D stands for debit. Now what to debit? Expenses would always be debit. Assets would always be debited. Drawings would always be debited, all right? Now, come to the click side. C for credit. Now what to credit? Liabilities. Incomes and finally capital. All right. So this was the dead click rule, and there was a catch. What was the catch? That this only applies on increases, not on decreases at all. All right. So now let's move on. Apply the deadlu rule, and then we are done with double entries. Right. So this was the first example. We've completed all the three steps. Now we have to just journalize, or in other words, do the double entries of the transactions. All right? So now as per the deadlik rule. When capital increases, that's on the click side. Cash is your asset. When that increases, that's on the debit side. So let's assume it's the first of the month. So cash is an asset, so that will go on the debit side. And capital, it will go on the credit side because that's increasing as per the dead click rule. All right, the amount is $10,000. Right. Next, paid rent with cash. So over here, we noticed that rent and expense is increasing. Cash, your asset, that's increasing. So let's follow sorry, decreasing. Let's follow the deedlk rule. When expenses increase, they go on the debit side. So I would write rent. And $5,000. On the debit side, cash is your asset, which is decreasing, so we'll reverse the deadly grow. Instead of debit, we are going to credit the cash. Next, bought goods on credit from John. I told you about purchases. Some schools of thought treats that as inventory. Some schools of thought treat that as an expense nature. Either way, that would be debited as per dead click, right? So purchases would be debited John is your liability. John is your debt, someone to whom you have to repay money. So that will go on the credit side. Next, sold goods on credit to Jamie. Sales is your income. That's increasing. Receivable Jamie is your asset. He's also increasing. So I would write Jamie on the debit side. We always write the debit entry first, right? So Jamie on the debit side, $4,000 and sales on the credit side. Next example, withdrew 5,000 cash for personal use, we noticed cash is decreasing and drawings is increasing. So as per the dead click rule, drawings would increase, so that would be debited. So drawings on the debit side, 5,000. Your cash is going out of the business. Remember, we don't care about the owner, we care about the business only. So cash is going out. Credit. Next, withdrew cash from the bank for office use. So cash is increasing and bank is decreasing. So let's follow the deedle rule. Cash is your asset. As per debt click, it would be debited. And bank is also your asset, but that's decreasing. So that will go on the credit side. The dead click rule would reverse. Next, John, receivable. Now this is important. Understand in the beginning of this playlist, I told you that if something is flowing in the business, that's an increase. And if something's flowing out, that's a decrease. And the second point was very important. If the balance of an account is increasing, that's an increase. And vice versa. In this case, receivable is decreasing because he's paying his account. So we would reverse the dead clique rule. Our asset john, instead of debit, would go on the credit side. Cash is coming in the business. That's increasing, right? So we would debit cash. 3,000. And, John, our receivable is decreasing. So we are reversing the dead lek rule by putting this on the credit side. Final, paid, Alex, our payable. We are settling. We are closing our liability. It's over. We are paying our creditor. We are thing we are throwing the money on his face. Here you go. So our liability is decreasing, and our asset bank, we are paying it. So that's also decreasing. So Alex is a liability. He was supposed to be on the credit side. But now that I'm paying Alex, my liability is finishing. So we are going to reverse the deadly group, and I'm going to debit Alex instead of credit. 5,000 And bank, my asset is also decreasing. So we would reverse the Jet Click rule and credit Bank. All right. I hope you understood this video. In the next videos, we would be discussing journal entries, and we would do more practice on the double entries. So see you all in the next video. Have a good day. Bye bye. 8. Journal Entries: Recording Transactions with Debits & Credits: Hi, my genius accountants. Welcome back to the next video. In this video, we would be starting a new topic called journal entries. Now that you've understood my four step model on double entries. We are now beginning a chapter called journal entries. Now, journal entries is a very, very important concept in accounting, and you have to have understanding about this. Otherwise, you'll have problems later on in the next chapters. So let's try to understand what are journal entries. It's just double entry, right? It's based on dead click. It's a system made in order to record transactions, and it's the building blocks of accounting, the basic foundation of accounting. Now how do jill entries look like? Let's have a look at that. So they are the first step in the accounting cycle. I told you after a transaction, we post the transactions into the books of original entry. Now, before we move on to the books of original entry, you have to have understanding on journal entries because the books of original entries are old journals. So let's have a look at the journal. How does it look like? So these are journal entries, okay? You can see there's a date column. There's a details column. In this, we write the name of the account, and then there's debit and credit. So it's totally based on DedCliq. We apply the four step model of double entries, what I toad you, and we solve the journal entries. Now, let's do an activity. In the next video, we are going to do an activity on journal entries, which will help you understand it very well. So see you in the next video. Thanks. 9. Journal Entries Activity: Practice Your Debits & Credits: Hi, my genius accountants. Welcome back to the next video. In this video, we are doing a class activity on journal entries. Now, if you still don't understand my four step model, kindly review those videos before this lesson. All right? It's a very, very important concept which will help you in solving such double entry questions. Okay? Now, let's have a look at the question. It says, prepare journal entries for the following transactions. So there are nine transactions in this question, and we have to prepare journal entries. All right? So follow my four step model in each question. What was the four step model? The first step was identifying the items in the transaction. Okay? The second step was ascertaining the nature of those items. Are those assets, liabilities? What are the accounts that we're supposed to write? The third step was identifying whether are these items increasing or decreasing? That's very important because when you understand the increase or decrease, we are going to apply the fourth step, which is the dead click rule. All right? Now, let's start this. Before I even move on, let's write dead click so we don't forget anything. Debit expenses, assets, drawings, credit, liabilities, income, capital, and they only apply on increases. I'm sure you remember that. If there's a decrease, then we will reverse this rule. All right? Right. Now, let's start the first question. Started business with cash for $10,000. Okay? Now, in this question, there are two items. They started business and cash. All right? So the owner invested his cash. So the capital is increasing and the cash is also increasing. I explained this before how to identify increase and decrease? Watch that video. The cash is not going out. It's coming in the business. So let's assume it's first of January, all right? So our cash is increasing. And also remember one more thing, we'll always write the debit item first. Whenever we write journal entries, the debit item has to be on top, right? So cash is being debited because it's increasing as per deed click, it will go on the debit side, and capital is also increasing. So I'll write capital on the credit side. Because as per dead click, capital goes on the credit side. Now let's move on to the second question. Bought goods on credit from Fox. Okay. Bought goods on credit from Fox for $2,000. Now, in this transaction, there are two items bought goods, which is purchases, Fox. Is Fox my payable or my receivable? Think. Tell me quickly, post the video and think. Fox is my payable. As a business, we owe him money. It's an obligation to pay. He's a liability, right? So my purchases is increasing, all right? And my liability is also increasing. So purchases would go on the debit side because it could either be an expense or an asset. Both schools of thoughts, it would go on the debit side. So two, let's assume it's 2 January, purchases on the debit side, $2,000. And Fox is my liability is increasing. So as per dead click, Fox would be credited. Okay, this is how we do journal entries. The debit item first and the credit item would come after that. The third transaction. Sole goods on credit to Roy. Now, in this question, there are two items, so goods and Roy, right? Now, who is Roy? Is Roy my receivable or payable? Think. Pause the video and think. Roy is my payable. I'm just joking. Roy is my receivable. Why? Because I sold goods on credit to him, he owes me money. All right. And in the asset definition, the second point, what was the second point, resources owed to the business. So he owes us money. He's my receivable. It's increasing, right? There's a new person who owes me money, Roy. So I'll write Roy on the debit side because as per DedCliq, assets would always go on the debit side. And the next item is sales. It's my income. That's also increasing. I sold something, so my earnings are increasing. My income is increasing. Second, there's one more question students ask me. You might be confused that, why is this my sale, even though I didn't get the money, and I recorded that as a sale. Accounting is accrual basis. It's not cash basis, okay? We record incomes when we earn them, not when we receive the cash. That's the reason. Okay, second, for January, paid rent by cash for $1,500. Okay? My expense is increasing. I just incurred a cost, a bill, rent. My cash is going out of the business. So cash is my asset. It's normally supposed to be debited, but because my cash is going out, I'm going to credit cash, and I'm going to debit rent with $1,500. Okay. Next, question number five, paid Fox $0.20 every dollar owed in cash. Post the video and solve this. I want to see what you guys can do. Now, remember, once upon a time, once upon a time, we bought goods on credit from Fox for $2,000. Okay. Once upon a time, we bought goods on credit from Fox for $2,000. I didn't pay him the entire amount. I just made one payment. Okay, one payment. And what's that payment? We paid $0.20 for every dollar owed in cash. Okay? Now, how to do this? Now, let me show you this involves a little bit of maths. So $0.20 for every dollar owed means 0.20 multiplied by the amount we owed him, which was $2,000. So it's like 20% of $2,000, which is $400. So we just made one payment. We owed him 2000, we paid him 400 so far. So we have to record this. We paid in cash. So the cash is going out, right? And my liability is decreasing. Why is it decreasing? Because first my debt was 2000 now we made a small payment. So my debt has decreased from 2002 1,600. Okay? So my liability is decreasing. Alex, sorry, Fox, my payable is decreasing. So we would reverse the debt leak rule. I'm going to debit Fox instead of credit with $400 because that's the payment I made. My cash is going out, so I'm going to credit my cash. All right? Next transaction, withdrew cash from the bank for office use. This is drawings, right? It's drawings. No, it's not drawings. It's not for personal use. If you go to the bank, you take out cash, put that cash in your cash still in the business. That's not a personal use. You're doing that for the business, okay? So in this transaction, there are two items, there's cash and bank, okay? There's cash and bank. So the cash is increasing. Obviously, you got cash, you put some cash in the cash still, you flow increased, but the bank is decreasing. Okay? So as per dead click, as per dead click, my asset cash is increasing, so I'll debit that. My bank is decreasing, so I'll credit that. There's no drawings involved here because it's not drawings. Okay? Question number seven, is this drawings? No, it's not. Yes, it is. I'm just kidding. So the inventory is going out from the business, right? And I just incurred a drawing. So my drawings balance is increasing. All right? So as per dead click drawings is on the debit side when it increases. How much? 1,000. And my inventory asset is going out, it's decreasing. So would reverse the deadliu rule, this asset would go on the credit side. Okay. Next, paid Roy half the amount he owed. No, sorry, Roy paid us half the amount he owed by cash. This is not the full payment. So far, he paid me half the amount. I probably made an agreement with him that first gave me half the amount this month and half later. It's not the full settlement, okay? This is why I'm not writing any discount in the Fox transaction or in the Roy transaction. Now, Roy paid me cash. So first of all, straightly away my cash is increasing. Asset is increasing. Roy, my receivable is decreasing, okay? Because receivable means you are yet to receive money from someone. So initially, Roy owed me how much. How much did Roy owe me $3,000 this transaction over here. Roy initially owed us $3,000, and he paid us half the payment. So what's half of 31,500, right? So now he owes me 1,500, which is lesser than 3,000. So notice how my receivable balance has gone down. So my asset receivable is going down because he's paying me, okay? So what I'll do now is I would debit my cash because that's increasing with 1,500, and I'm going to credit my receivable who is also decreasing by 1,500. All right? Next, one more transaction. Come on, guys, tell me how to do this. We borrowed a loan from the bank, okay? We borrowed a loan from the bank. So my liability loan, my debt is increasing, and my bank balance, my asset is also increasing. So as per DetClikRu as per DetClRu my asset bank on the debit side because it's increasing. My liability, which is called loan payable, a liability, my debt is also increasing. All right? So this was how to solve journal entries. Note one thing that the amount on the debit side would always be the same as the amount on the credit side. If there's 10,000 on debit, it should be 10,000 on credit. Otherwise, there's either a problem in you or a problem in the question or an error. So make sure that the debit and credit amounts are always the same. All right. So this was how to solve general entries. Now let's move on to books of original entry. In the next video, we are going to start the first step in the counting cycle, which is called books of original entry. Thank you so much. 10. Introduction to Discounts: Hello, my genius accountants. Welcome back to our next video. In this video, we would be covering some important transactions such as discounts and returns. So in this video, we would have a look at discounts. All right? So there are two types of discounts. Number one is your trade discount. Your second discount is called a cash discount. Both these discounts have different treatments in accounting. Both are treated separately. Both are different concepts. So in the next videos, we would be covering each discount. So see you in the next video. Thank you. 11. Trade Discounts: What They Are & How They Work: Hello, my genius accountants. In this video, we are going to discuss a very important concept, which is called discounts. And in particular, we are discussing trade discount in this video. But before we commence this chapter, there are some important terms you have to have understanding on. And what are those terms there too? Number one, list price. Okay? And number two, net price. So list price is the price before discount, before the deduction of any discount. So it's a pre discounted price. The net price is the post discounted price, meaning after deduction of all the discounts, the selling price that's left is called the net price. So post discount. A very simple example, if I'm selling a product for $100 and after applying 10% discount, 10% of 100 is ten, subtract ten from 100, you'll be left with 90. So this $90 is the net price, and this hundred dollar is the list price. All right. Right. Now let's move on to the chapter and understand all this. Right. These are some products from Amazon. You can see some beads. You can see a patrey. You can see drone products, a computer LED and an Air purifier. Note, it says 20% of limited time deal, 38% of 22% of 41% of 42% of 22% off. These are all the discounts. All right. This is called the trade discount. Discounts offered by businesses to customers when you make upfront payments. All right? These discounts reduce the selling price. All right? So now, what is trade discount? Reduction in the list price of the product. All right? Why is it given When customers do bulk purchases, when they buy immense orders, okay? Or to encourage sales. If a business is trying to increase the number of orders or to increase their customers, they can offer trade discounts. Let's look at an example that I prepared for you guys. Suppose a manufacturer sells a pair of earphones for $10 each. Okay. They're selling a pair of earphones for $10 each. If a retailer purchase 100 pairs, the manufacturer may offer a 10% trade discount. So we have to calculate the purchase price for the customer. Pause the video for a moment and tell me what you understand from this. Try to solve it yourself. It's a very simple question. First, we would calculate the list price, okay? So the manufacturer sells one pair for $10. They sold 100 pays, so very simple 100 pays multiplied by $10, you'll get $1,000. This is the list price, okay? The revenue. Now, let's subtract the discount. Okay? Since 100 pair of earphones are bought, 10% discount would be applied. So 1,000 times 10% is 100. You can subtract 100 from 1,000, so you'll get $900. This is the price paid by the customer. This is the purchase price for all these earphones. Okay. Now, let me teach you a quick hack, as well, how to solve this question. We multiplied by 10%, then subtracted the discount. You can just take $1,000 multiplied by 90%. So you'll get 900. This is a quicker version. All right. Moving on now. Let's look at the accounting treatment for trade discounts. Remember, a very important point. Trade discounts are not recorded anywhere in the accounting records. There's no need to record anything. They're simply subtracted from the list price. The reason is very simple. Let me give you an example. Okay. If your mom gave you money to buy a cake, let's say she gave you $50 to buy a cake, and you thought that the cake would be for $50. You went to the shop. They offered 20% discount. So the cake was for $50, but they offered 20% discount. So $50 multiplied by 80%. 40. This is the price paid by you. When you take the cake back home, if your mom asks you, how much was this cake, what would you say? You would see the cake was for $40, right? That's the price you paid. So when the inventory arrives at the warehouse of the business, it arrives at the net price. So we assume this is the price, this is the selling price we paid. There's no need for any accounting treatment because I'll assume I bought this for $40. So when I would record purchases by cash, so I would debit purchases, and credit cash. I would simply put $40. That's it. This is the net price. So there's no need to record the trade discount anyway. Thank you very much. See you in the next video. 12. Discounts Allowed: Meaning, Journal Entries & Examples: Hello and welcome back my genius accountants. In this video, we are moving a step forward in the discounts chapter. So in the previous video, we studied trade discounts. In this video, we would be talking about cash discounts. Now, cash discounts are also known as settlement discounts. Now, please understand what does the word settle mean? So if someone owes me money, he finally pays the amount. It means he cleared his account. Oh, he settled his account, done and dusted. If I owe someone money, I fulfill my obligation. I clear the account. That means I settled the account. So there are two types of cash discounts. There's discount allowed and discount received. In this video, we would be focusing on discount allowed. So let's dig right in and see what the definition is. Discount allowed is given by the business to a customer for paying their account early or by a specific deadline. Let's say I sold goods on credit to someone amounting to $100, and the expectation is that he would pay after 30 days. So I decide to give him a motivation that if you pay me within 15 days, I would give you a concession of 15%. Meaning pay 85% of the amount, I will accept that as the full and final settlement. So the 15% discount that I gave, that's called discount allowed. It's a concession given to your customer, okay? It incentivizes timely payment and helps maintain healthy cash flow for both the seller and the buyer, both parties. Obviously the buyer would be happy. You'd pay less amount. The seller would be happy as well as he can get timely payment before the expected payment. I prepared a small example for you guys. This is XYZ Limited, and this is Emily, the credit customer of XYZ Limited. So XYZ Limited sells goods on credit to Emily worth $500. So who's Emily? Guys, Emily is the receivable? XYZ Limited has to receive money from Emily. Now, the company makes an offer to Emily that if you pay within a month, they will waive 10% off for you. In other words, they will give you a concession of 10%. Remarkably, Emily accepted the offer and paid in cash after 20 days, so ten days before the expected time. Now, let's try and see what's happening. First, let's look at the journal entry when we sold the goods. So we'll follow the Dead click rule, debit expenses, assets, drawings, credit, liabilities, income capital, and this rule only applies in increases. Okay? Pause the video and tell me what's going to be the double entry. Pause the video. So this is very simple. We did this many times. We'll debit Emily because she's my receivables increasing and would credit sales because that's my income, which is increasing. Now, the second aspect is more important. Understand what's happening. I booked a receivable, Emily, worth $500. So in my books, there's $500 that I have to receive from Emily. We have to give her a 10% discount because she paid on time. So 10% of 50 is $50. And how much cash did we receive? 450. Because we received 90% of the amount, and that's the full and final settlement. So what you can simply do is just take 90% of the original price, the list price. So then you would arrive at the discounted price. Now, there are three things happening. I have to wipe off my receivable, okay? I have to record the discount and the cash we received. So this is what happened. We debited cash for 450 and discount allowed is my expense. So I debited that as well. And then I credited Emily with $500. So this is what happened in this transaction. All right? Because now Emily doesn't owe me any more money. It's finished. I recorded 500 at the beginning. So when I finish her account, I have to credit 500 as well. Alright? So that's discount allowed. I'll see you in the next video in which we'd be talking about discount received. Thank you very much. Oh 13. Discounts Received: Accounting Treatment & Examples: Welcome back, my genius accountants. In this video, we would be covering the second type of cash discount, which is called discount received. So let's dig right in. Now, discount allowed was a concession given by us as a business to our customer. Discount receipt is the opposite. It's a concession we receive from our supplier in order to pay earlier. All right? Now, let me give you a small example. Let's say we bought goods on credit worth $100 and we have to pay within 30 days. If our supplier gives us an offer that if we pay within 15 days, he would give us a 10% concession of the liability. So if we pay 90% of the entire amount, you would accept that as the full and final settlement. No need to pay anything else. So this 10% concession that we received, that's cold discount received. It incentivizes us to pay earlier. Let's do an example that I prepared for you all. Our business XYZ Limited buys goods on credit from James worth $400. Okay? James gives us an offer that if we pay him within a month, he's going to give us a concession of 10% of the liability, which is $400, 10% of that. We accepted the offer. Remarkably, we accepted the offer and paid within 20 days in cash. So that's ten days earlier than our deadline. So we got the discount. Yay. Now, tell me the journal entry upon buying off the goods, upon purchase of the goods. Follow the dead click rule that I taught you many, many times. We are buying good, so that's going to be debit. Our liability is increasing as well, James. So we would debit purchases, and we would credit James. Now, tell me about the settlement. This is more important. Think what's happening. We booked a liability of $400. We got a 10% discount of 40. We ended up paying only hundred $60. So we have to show these three items in the transaction. We debited sorry, we credited our liability with 400. We increased our liability. So now we have to decrease it because we paid our amount in full and final settlement. So the first thing we would do is debit James 400. We paid cash of 360, and we receive discount of 40. This is our income. Always remember, if you remember, in the important definition videos, I told you, wherever the word received is mentioned, that's your income. So discount received is an income. It's a benefit we attained, which is why we credited discount received. So this is discount received, CEO in the next video. Thanks. 14. Applying Discounts: Hands-On Accounting Exercise: Welcome back my genius accountants. In this video, we would be solving three questions which relate to the discounts chapter that we carve it. So let's start with the first question. It says, XYZ Limited, sold goods to John on credit for $1,000. Okay? $1,000. A trade discount of 10% was given. In addition, a cash discount of 15% was offered if John paid within 20 days. What is the maximum discount John attained? Now, I've seen many multiple choice questions in your paper one, which are exactly like this. I want you to solve the question, pose the video, and let's see if we do it correctly. Right. My question is, would both the discounts apply this question or only one? The answer is only one. We would only apply the trade discount. And if I ask you why the reason is very simple. The question does not mention did John pay within 20 days? That's a mystery. So we can't apply the cash discount because we didn't know if he paid within time before the time or what. So we would only apply the trade discount. So in this question, the maximum discount that John attains would be $1,000 multiplied by 10%, which is $100. And if I ask you, what's the journal entry that we would pass in this question, so we would follow the dead click rule. Okay? We sold goods to John. John is our receivable is increasing, so we would debit John. Our sales are increasing, so we would credit sales with the amount of hundred dollar -100, which is $900. If you remember, I told you that we do not record any accounting treatment for trade discounts. We just subtract that from the list price. Question number two, Japan limited bought goods on credit from Leyla for $1,500 on 1 January 2020. Now, this is a bit of a technical question as we are advancing forward, I added slightly more spices in the question. So remember the dates, $1,500 on first of January 2020. They received a 10% trade discount. In addition, Leyla offered 20% cash discount. If Japan Limited managed to pay within 30 days, this is important. The last line. They ended up paying the amount on 21 January. So the goods were bought on 1 January, and the offer of discount was still the 31st of Jan. Because that's within 30 days. Remarkably, we paid on 21 January. That's less than a month. That's within 30 days. So we attained the discount. If I ask you, what's the maximum discount? So there's $1,500 multiplied by 10%. So that's 150. Okay, that's $50. So what's 1,500 minus 150? 13 50. They ended up paying the amount on 21 January. So we would offer 20% discount, okay? So what is 20% of 13 50? I'll take my calculator. 270. And the remaining amount is 1080. So 13 50 minus $270 was the cash that Japan Limited paid Lela, what we paid Lela, which is 1080. So if I ask you all, what's the journal entries that we would pass? So first, we would record the purchasers entry number one. That's the first step. So we would debit purchases as per dead click, and we would credit our liability Leyla because Japan Limited owes Leyla. Okay? So 1,500 minus 150, which is 13 50. This is our purchases. We don't do any treatment for trade discount. The second part is the settlement. So I would wipe off our liability, Leyla. So instead of credit, our liability will go on the debit side because dead clcru is reversing, our liability is decreasing. How much cash did we pay? We paid 1080 on the credit side, and our discount received also on the credit side. $270. So this is the journal entry for discount received. Now, let's go to third question. ABC Enterprises sold goods n creer to Miranda for $800 on 1 January 2021. Okay, so this is a selling question. They gave a generous straight discount of 10% and in addition, a 20% cash discount if Miranda pays within 45 days. Miranda presented a check and cleared account on 28 February. So now we have to see is this within 45 days or not? Let's do a small calculation. On 1 January, this transaction began. So at the end of January, that would be 30 days. Okay. And she paid on 28 February, so 28 days of February. Oops, this is not 45 days. This is 58 days. So this means that this cash discount would not be applicable, right? We can't give her this discount because she did not pay within the time we agreed on. So first, we would record our sales entry. We would debit our receivable Miranda. Because she's an asset, that's increasing. So Miranda debit, 800 times 10% trade discount. So basically 90% because we would wipe off the trade discount. So 800 times 90% is 720. And sales is our income, so that would be 720 as well. Now, upon settlement, there's no discount at all, okay? We would finish our receivable Miranda with 720, and we would debit cash with 720. So we debited cash 720, and we finished our receivable. We credited our receivable Miranda with 720. Okay, there was no discount applicable because she paid us later in 58 days, and the offer was 445 days. So this was a discounts activity. See you in the next video. Thank you very much. 15. Sales Returns (Returns Inwards): How to Record & Adjust: Hi, genius accountants. Welcome back to the next video. In this video, we are beginning some small concepts and students find problems in preparing double entries on these concepts. So in this video, we are covering one concept of returns and in particular, return Iwids. Now, what is return inwards? Return inwards is also known as sale return. Okay? It's also known as sale return. Now, why inwards? It's called inwards because the inventory, the movement of inventory is flowing back in the business. The customer is returning the product to the business. It could be due to various reasons. Might we warranty claims, defects or simply a change of mind. And every company has a return policy, so they have to cater to such accounting. I prepared a small example. This is XYZ limited Our company. And we sold goods on care to Emily worth $500. Okay? Then Emily returned goods worth $50. Emily did not return the entire set of goods, probably a few units, which was accumulated to $50. Now, I want you all to apply the dead click rule. And tell me something very important. What's the double entry of the sale of goods? Obviously, Emily is my receivable. There's no doubt about that. She's our receivable. She's an asset. So Emily debit and the sale, our income on the click side, okay? So Emily debit and sales credit. Now, how would we show the return? It's the reverse of a sale. Okay? Now, I want you to note one thing. When your receivable is returning a product to you, her outstanding balance would decrease. Emily initially owed $500, but she returned goods worth $50. So how much does she owe me now? She owes me 450. So her balance has reduced, right? 500-450. So Emily would be on the credit side, and sale return would be on the debit side. Now, there are two reasons why sale return is debited. The first reason is pretty obvious. It's the reversal of a sale. Okay, we would reverse the sale. The second reason is the movement of inventory. The inventory is flowing inside the business. Inventory is an asset. So as per Dead click, it will go on the debit side. Okay? Now, we need to record the final settlement. So initially we booked a receivable of $500. Now that the transaction is fish finished, she paid us the amount we accepted 450. We have to remove Emily from our books. So initially we debited 500. Now we'll credit 500 to indicate that our receivable is gone. We got $450 cash, 500 -50, and the sale return was debited to 50. So this is the double entry for sale return. I hope you understand this video. See you all in the next video. Thank you very much. 16. Purchase Returns (Returns Outwards): How to Record & Adjust: Come back, my genius accountants. In this video, we would be covering the second type of return, which is known as return outwards. Okay? It's the opposite of a sale return. So this is called a purchase return. Purchase return. All right? It's the opposite of return outwards. So it refers to the goods that the business returns to the supplier due to various reasons if there were some defective products, but change of mind, warranty claims, whatever. So as a business, when we return the goods we bought to our supplier, that is purchase returns. So let's jump to an example straightaway. XYZ limited. Bought goods on credit from James worth $600. Okay? How much? $600. So, James is our accounts payable? Our liability. Why? Because we owe him money. Then what happened, the business returned goods to James worth $100. Okay? So we initially bought goods worth 600. Now we return goods worth $100. Okay? So let's have a look at the double entry we will pass on the purchase of goods. Purchases debit 600 and James credit 600. So we'll just follow the deadlik rule I taught you all. Purchases would be debited, and James is a liability. So go on the click side. Now, how to show the return? So we would reverse the aforementioned entry. We would debit James and credit purchase returns. Now, why are we debiting James? Because our liability is going down? We bought goods on credit worth 600. Now we return goods worth $100. So do we still owe James 600? No, we returned $100 of goods. So we now owe him 500. The debt has gone down, which is why we debited James. The debt leak rule was reversed. Now, purchase return is credited. There are two reasons to this as well. The first reason is the reversal of purchases. Purchases is always debited, so purchase return would be credited. The second reason is the movement of inventory. The inventory is going out of the business, and asset is decreasing. Okay, it's going to the supplier, which is why the dead flick rule would be reversed. Now what happened? The business paid all the remaining balance in cash. So how to show the settlement? Initially, we booked a liability of $600 in our books initially. Then we returned $100. So how much cash did we pay the entire balance, which was $500. So I would first of all, wipe off my liability of James because now it's over. I would credit my cash because the cash flow, the asset is decreasing, so DedCliq would be reversed. Now it would go on the credit side and purchase return 100 on the credit side. So note both entries are balanced, 600 on the debit and 600 on the credit. So that's with returns. See you in the next video. 17. Common Misconceptions About Journal Entries - 1: Hi everyone. My genius accountants. Welcome back to the next video. Before we move on to Books of original entry, there's some misconceptions that I want to clear. There are some very common mistakes students make when they make journal entries. So there are two misconceptions that I want to clear before we move on. The first misconception we're covering in this video, and what's that misconception? Buying non current assets is purchases. Is that the case, really? What was purchases? I told you in the important definition video. There items bought for resale, right? Whatever we buy for resale, that's purchases. Why does a business buy non current assets? Why? To resell them? No, to hold them in the business, earn value from them, use them, use them in production, use them in every aspect of your business. Hold them for a very long time. All right? So an example, if XYZ Limited deals in the buying and selling of goods, then purchases would only refer to the buying and selling of those goods. Remember something in accounting in this O and A level course of accounting, we always assume that the standard principal line of business, the standard activity of every business is buying and selling of goods. Unless you're a nonprofit organization, unless you're a manufacturing business. The standard item, the standard activity is always buying and selling of goods, okay? So that's always going to be your purchases. If they buy a non current assets such as a motor vehicle, these are not for resale. Alright? Now, let's look at a scenario I prepared for you. An example This is XYZ Limited, a company. They approached Emily. Why? Because they want a car on credit. They're buying a car on credit. So Emily says, Okay, fine. You can take my car. It's worth $10,000. Now, what journal entry would we pass? We are getting a car, right? The car is coming in the business, isn't it? So the car is increasing. All right? The car is increasing. And we are buying on credit. So, Emily, my pay bill is increasing. Now let's look at the answer of this. Purchasers debit 10,000 Emily Credit 10,000. The student who wrote this journal entry, who answered this question is probably high on weed. Because that's not the case. This is not purchases. So why am I debiting purchases? We are not buying the car for reselling. This is the correct answer. We would debit car for $10,000 because my asset is increasing, and we would credit Emily because my liability, Emily is also increasing. So this is the right answer. Don't confuse yourself and avoid this misconception that buying a non carN asset is purchases. All right? Now, see you in the next video in which we would cover the second misconception. Thank you very much. 18. Common Misconceptions About Journal Entries - 2: Hello, my genius accountants. Welcome back to the next video. In this video, we are going to be covering the second misconception, right? Regarding journal entries. So this misconception is very, very similar to the first misconception, which was buying goods on credit is purchases. This is very similar to that. Now, what's this misconception that selling non current assets is your sales. That's not the case. When I explained what sales were, I told you, all those items which you are selling in your principal activity, the core activity of your business, the reason of existence of your business, that's sales. If you sell something else apart from that, that's not your sales, okay? If I'm selling fast food, then my fast food is my sales. In my fast food business, if I had an extra machine, I sold that, that's not my sales, right? So as I told you about the core business activity, example, if XYZ Limited deals in the buying and selling of goods, sales would only involve the buying and selling of those goods. I told you in the previous video that in our O and lable accounting course, the standard business activity is always buying and selling of goods unless you're a nonprofit business or a manufacturing business, all right? If they sell a non car asset, that's not the core business activity, so that's not your sales. Now, let's have a look at some transactions, a small example. It's very similar to the previous example. Now, in this case, Emily is approaching my company. She wants my car. She's my customer, and she noticed our car is stuck and getting rotten in the garage. So she wants my car, but she wants on credit. We said, fine. You can take it on credit. No problem. Now, what's happening in this transaction? Emily is my receivable now, right? She owes me money. So she's my asset. As per dead click, Emily is increasing. The car is also my asset that's going out of the business, so that's decreasing. Now let's look at the solution of this example. Again, Someone high on weed solve this question. This is wrong. Fine. I debited Emily. That's okay. Fine. She's my receivable. But why am I crediting sales? This is not a sale, right? It's not my co activity. So this is wrong. This is what's right. Debiting Emily and your car is going out, so you would credit the car, right? So avoid this misconception that selling of non current assets is your sale. That's not your sale. See you in the next video. Thank you very much. 19. Advanced Journal Entries: Complex Transactions: Hey, everyone. Welcome back to our next video. In this video, we would be talking about discounts, returns. These are advanced journal entries that I've prepared for you all. After this activity, your understanding would become a lot better. So let's begin. Prepare journal entries for the following transactions. Now I'm sure you all have a good understanding on journal entries. Recall the dead click rule I taught you. So debit expenses, assets, and drawings, credit, liabilities, income, and capital. Okay? Right, let's begin question number one. Sold goods on credit to Roy for $1,500. A trade discount of 10% was offered. So in this question, we are selling items on credit. So the two items are Roy and sales. Roy is my receivable, an asset that's increasing because now he owes me money. Sales is my income which is also increasing. So I would debit Roy and I would credit sales. But let's calculate the amount. The amount was $1,500 and a trade discount of 10%. It means we paid 90% of the amount. So 1,500 times 90%, we paid 13 50. Okay? This was the amount we paid. And there's no other treatment. We don't show trade discount anyway. Next question, Roy returned a third of the goods bought a third of the goods Roy bought. That means from 13 50 if I divide it by three, so $450 is the amount of the return. So let's write 450 on both sides, debit and credit. Now, it's a sale return. So we would reverse the entry. My receivable is going down because now he owes me 450 less. So reverse the dead click rule, put Roy on the credit side, and we would debit sales return. Okay. Coming to the third question, bought goods on credit from Nishum for $1,000. Trade discount of 5% was offered. So in this question, the two items are purchases and Nishum. Nishum is a liability, a debt. We owe him $1,000. Okay? And purchases, my inventory is coming in, so that's going to be debit. So purchases debit and Niem credit. However, let's calculate the amount. The amount was $1,000, but we attained a 5% trade discount. So we paid 95% of the total amount. So 1,000 times 95%, 950 was the amount paid by us. So we would write 950 on both sides. Okay? Fourth question, we returned a quarter of the goods to Nishum. So a quarter means divided by four, isn't it? So divided by four is $237.50. So let's write this amount on both sides. And we would reverse the above entry. My liability, Nishum is going down by $237 because I'm returning items to him. So we would reverse the dead click rule, put the liability on the debit side, and purchase return on the credit side because the inventory is flowing out of the business. Right, Roy paid the remaining amount by cash, and a discount of $300 was given. Now, this is a technical entry. Let's first see the entire story. What's the entire story of Roy? We created a receivable by selling goods on credit. So initially, Roy owed us how much? Initially, Roy owed us 13 50. Then Roy returned a third of the goods. So Roy returned 450. So if we subtract 450 from 13 50, Roy owes us $900. So we gave Roy a discount of $300 in this question. See, question number five, Roy paid the remaining amount by cash and a discount of 300 was given. So we'll subtract $300 This is the amount we received. Now, let's break everything down. This is the cash amount we received. This is the discount we allowed Okay. And 900 was the value of my receivable. So this 900 is going down now, right? Because we are settling the count. We got the entire amount. Roy paid us the remaining amount. So let's go step by step. How much cash did I get? I got $600. So I'll debit $600. There was a discount that we allowed I'll debit that with $300 because discount allowed is an expense. The remaining amount, this 900 Roy owed us 900. Now it's old finished. We settle the account. He paid us 600. We said, fine. Okay. It's over. So now I'll finish my receivable Roy by putting it on the credit side, reversing the debt lick rule, and I would write 900. So now this is how we do the fifth question, right, sixth question, paid Nishum the remaining amount by cash after attaining a discount of 100. So now let's see the story of Nishum. What's the story of Nishum? Right, so this is how we created our payable. We bought goods on credit from Nishum for $1,000 then a 5% rate discount, so the amount was 950. Then we returned a quota of goods to Nishum and then we attained a discount of 100 and paid the entire remaining amount and settled the balance. Now let's see what happened. What's the story? So first, were we owed Nishum 950. After that, we returned a quota, which was 37.50 what we calculated before. So let's subtract $237.50 from 950. So how much do we have left? Let's see. $712.50. This is the balance that we owe Nishum. This is our liability. Now, what happened? We got a discount of 100. So if we subtract 100 from here, the amount that we paid was $612.50. Okay? So this is our cash outflow. This is our discount that we received and this is the entire amount of the liability that has been finished. The debt has been finished. So these are three items we have to record now. First of all, let's finish our liability of $712.50 because now the debt is finished. The account has been settled. So I will reverse the debt click rule, put Nishum on the debit side. With $712.50. This was my pending liability. Why? My initial liability was 950. I returned a quota of the goods, so I was left with $712.50. Now, this is a liability. I'm finishing, okay? So we paid cash of $612.50, and we received discount of $100. So this is the entire transaction. And you can see the transaction is balanced. The same amount is on the debit and credit. Right. Now, let's go to question number seven. That's easy. Bought a motor vehicle on credit from Johnny worth $10,000. Remember, if you remember the important misconception I told you, this is not purchases. Why did we buy this motor vehicle not to resell? So this is not purchases. So I'll debit purchases with $10,000, and I would credit Johnny with $10,000, as well. No, this is not what we'll do. It's not purchases. It's not purchases. I will debit motor vehicle. This is not purchases because we're not buying it for reselling next. We returned the motor vehicle to Johnny. So the motor vehicle is going out, so that will go on the credit side. Isn't it my asset is reducing? And my payable is also reducing. Now I don't owe Johnny 10,000. I gave him the car back. So now we reverse the dead accrue, put the liability on the debit side. There we go. Right, sold a machine to CJ. Is this my sale? Is this my sales? No. Only selling of inventory is your sales. This machine is my non current asset, not inventory. So the machine is going out, and we sold it on credit. Okay? We sold it on credit. So I will debit CJ. He's my receivable. He owes me isn't money for the machine. And I would credit my machine. I won't credit sales because this is not my sale. Only the services you provide that's part of your core business activity, that is your sales. So I hope you understand journal entries. Keep on doing more practice. Practice makes a man perfect. I'll see you in the next video. Thank you very much.
