1.
T-account:
- T-account is the form of the ledger account, where the journal entries are posted to this account. It is referred to as the T-account, because the alignment of the components of the account resembles the capital letter ‘T’.
- The components of the T-account are as follows:
-
- a) The title of the account
- b) The left or debit side
- c) The right or credit side
Journal entry:
Journal entry is a set of economic events which can be measured in monetary terms. These are recorded chronologically and systematically.
Accounting rules for Journal entries:
- To record increase balance of account: Debit assets, expenses, losses and credit liabilities, capital, revenue and gains.
- To record decrease balance of account: Credit assets, expenses, losses and debit liabilities, capital, revenue and gains.
Income statement:
This is the financial statement of a company which shows all the revenues earned and expenses incurred by the company over a period of time. It is prepared to find out the net income of an organization.
Classified Balance Sheet:
A balance sheet is a statement showing position of all assets, liabilities and equity of the company at a specific time. When assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity are further sub-categorized to make it more readable and understandable then it is called classified balance sheet
Unadjusted trial balance:
The unadjusted trial balance is the summary of all the ledger accounts that appears on the ledger accounts before making adjusting journal entries.
Post-closing trial balance:
After passing all the journal entries and the closing entries of the permanent accounts and then further posting them to each of the respective accounts, a post-closing trial balance is prepared which consists of a list of all the permanent accounts. A post-closing trial balance serves as an evidence to prove that the balance of the permanent accounts is equal.
To Enter: The beginning balances from the trial balance to the T-accounts.
