Notes for teachers
It is a bit difficult to understand double entry - most common doubt is that "if debit always = credit, then how will business make a profit, since one must be more than the other.
The key point is that Book Keeping keeps records for the business and treats the owner(s) as distinct/different from the business.Hence any profit made will be treated by the business as a 'liability' to the owner. Hence while profit (or loss) will be recorded, it will still be on a basis of debit = credit. Simple example provided below
Business 'Biscuit Mane' purchased 10 biscuit packets for Rs 100 on credit from 'A' and sold it for Rs 120 on credit to 'B'. A profit of Rs 20 is made, though as shown in the entries below, debit =credit
1. Entry for - Purchase of 10 biscuit packets for Rs 100 Particulars Debit Credit Biscuits Purchased A/c Dr 100
To A 100
2. Entry for - Sale of 10 biscuit packets for Rs 120 B A/c Dr 120
To Sales Account 120
The Trial Balance will show as follows Particulars Debit Credit A 100 B 120 Purchase 100 Sales 120 Total 220 220
On preparing the profit and loss account, we will have Profit of 20 (sales 120 less purchase 100) and in balance sheet we will have net asset of 20 (120 due from A less due to B 100) on Asset side and on liabilities side a 'suplus' of 20. Thus profit is treated by accounts as a liability to the owner.
