    Splendid video! Am also a teacher of Accounting. The only thing I might suggest should you update this video, is to include the PR (Posting Reference) columns in the Journal and Ledger.
    Or whatever version of Journal Reference is used.
    The last steps in posting should be entering the PAGE number of the General Journal in the PR column of the GL and then the ACCOUNT NUMBER posted to is written in the PR column in the General Journal (rather than just "checking it off").
    The idea is that anyone can look at a posting in the GL and know what page number in the GJ to look at to examine the transaction OR what account a particular line was posted to.
    LOVE THIS!! Thank you.

I think every kid in high school should learn the fundamentals of personal finance. Maybe so many folks wouldn't be in such big money troubles these days if they understood a little bit about how the money works :)

    my class teaches that in the "description" part you write what the account you are debiting or crediting in relation to the amount. For instances, when you are recording 5,000 for the car ledger, in the description, you put "accounts payable" and in the accounts payable description for the same amount, you put "car". Is there a specific reason you didn't do this? or is it just not common practice? It just seems like it would be unclear when you are looking through your accounts payable, if you want to track down where that money went, you'd have to manually go through all the accounts to match up dates and transactions, unless I'm missing something.

    • @BrandyDudas

      In your book it should say. For transactions on account it should say ‘on account’ or ‘on credit’ or give payment terms (eg. 2/10, n/30). Otherwise I would usually assume it’s cash.
      Instructors aren’t perfect - sometimes I forget to specify how the item is being purchased so if it’s not clear, ask 😃

    • @BrandyDudas
      @BrandyDudas  6 лет назад

      It depends which totals you at are looking at... let’s say you have a journal entry that says Debit cash 100, credit cash 100. Total debits and credits in the journal are 100 each. When you bring it over to the ledger, the cash account will show total debits of 100, total credits of 100 but the overall total in the account would be zero. Does that make sense?

      @alegrebanay7835 5 лет назад +1

      TopKevessi You subtract it. It can be a credit/debit depending on which amount is higher. If the credit side is higher, therefore the answer is credit. If the debit side is higher, therefore the answer is a debit. All you have to do now is to evaluate whether the answer (debit/credit balance) is the normal balance of that account.
