    You just blew my mind away by explaining the Dealer method in the accounting equation. I now understand how they relate. I have got a lecture on accounting so this was extremely helpful. I about half way through my accounting degree and this helped me understand when I am doing entries how to classify where they go. My professor actually told me about your videos! Thank you!

    Thanks for the video. I learned this a long time ago but I was surprised when the bank used the term credit (to my bank account) whenever I deposited money. I asked my accounting teacher why they were doing it backwards and he took the time to explain to me the differences in the recording especially for third parties. And oh I think the Div in the acrostic (DEALER) needs a qualifier since you're referring to a Dividend expense the reverse would be true for a Dividend Income which is rare but could actually happen.

    In India we have 3 rules for journal entries
    1- Debit what comes in
    Credit what goes out
    (For example you buy a new computer for 5000 so computer comes in your business so DR and cash goes out so CR)
    2- Debit the receiver
    Credit the giver
    (This is mainly used for your bills let’s say you bought goods worth 3000 on credit from John. Now here john is the giver of the goods so he goes CR and purchase of goods comes in your business so DR)
    3- Debit the expense
    Credit the income
    (For example you have to pay 10000 salary so you made an expense so you DR salary and money goes out of the business so cash/bank will become CR.
    Another example having two rules in one journal entry would be Let’s say that you received 100 as dividend so here Credit the income dividend would be CR and debit what comes in so cash comes in it would be cash/bank DR)
    Hope you guys found it helpful

    (Owner's) Equity for me was tricky to grasp.
    The accounting equation A=L+E is algebraic, meaning you can say:
    Assets-Liabilities=Equity .
    A-L=E
    So now what are the main components of equity?
    Equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings

    • @joecoleman288
      @joecoleman288 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm no accountant, but I run a small business. My current understanding of this: When my company sells a $10,000 project, for reporting it must equal my costs for the project ($3,000) plus my equity ($7,000). $10,000 = $3,000 + $7,000.

    Your videos are amazing. I have subscribed and am considering the 5 hour course! One basic accounting tenet which I cannot get through my dense skull is why $100k cash coming into my business is recorded as a debit. It seems so obvious to me that the extra cash is only a credit. Is it just a term that doesn’t actually mean “debit”?

    • @TheFinancialController
      @TheFinancialController  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Welcome aboard! When cash goes up, a bank statement calls it "Credit" because from the bank perspective, they owe this money to us, therefore it's a liability and liabilities are "Credit" nature. We call it "Debit" on our books because it's an asset and assets have "Debit" nature. Hope to see you in the online course Chris!

I am questioning to where they used the deducted amount the answere was they use it to pay the deficit my question again how come that the negative amount was used to cover up deficit what I said you put but still the same was taken this is the reason am questioning where this deduction was used Please sir kindly forward a detailed explaination for this I need more knowledge in auditing

      1st try to see what is coming into the business
      Computer is coming

      Accounting is made hard in purpose for absolutely no reason.
      There doesn't need to be all these crazy jargon.
      Debits and credits is useless.
      It should be simplified with only funds and cost or inflow and outflow
      The money coming in doesn't really need to be troubled with. Of you are an old company u already have allocated monthly budgets that can be fixed unless a catastrophic emergency happens.
      So all the inflow doesn't or shouldn't be touched if u are a good company, which can only be done if ur a private company because I won't be on the verge of bankruptcy every quarter .
      All companies should have a prior year budget for example if in 2022 u made 1billion after taxes . If u already know the operation cost u can say okay this net earnings let's take 50million for budget for the 2023 year.
      Now any incoming earnings or cash will not be touched and be left for the 2023 tax filing.
      Any cost or debts can be paid with the 50 million that u already paid tax on in 2022.
      This is why companies have so much tax troubles and errors happen. This is how I'm going to run my company. No need for all the jargon
