What will increase asset and decrease liability?
This is a difficult question to answer. I've been going through all transactions I can think of but none that will increase an asset and decrease a liability in the same transaction. Receiving cash payment for an account receivable will increase the asset of cash, but it also decreases the asset of AR. The purchase of equipment or supplies will do increase supplies or equipment but will either decrease the asset of cash or if bought on account will increase liability by increasing an account payable. Remember there's always an equal debit and credit with any transaction. The term debit or credit doesn't indicate which of the accounts are used. You can debit and credit on both sides of the accounting equation in one transaction. Assets increase by receiving money, supplies, property, or equipment, when any of these are increased with a debit then an opposite credit MUST occur. If you receive money for a purchase the asset of Cash increases, but then so does the Owners Equity account of Revenue. (this doesn't have anything to do with liabilities.) A liability is something your company owes, to decrease a liability a company makes a pay out in some form (usually cash), this will also decrease your assets (not increase).
EXAMPLE OF increase in liability equals decrease in owners equity?
A company takes accounts payable to increases revenue but suffer losses.
What transactions increase in one owner's equity equals decrease in another owner's equity?
Profits would increase owners equity, loss and drawing would decrease an owners equity.
What will decrease an asset and increase liability?
You cannot just decrease an asset and increase a liability without affecting equity since Assets = Liabilities + Equity. And since you want to find a situation where liabilities increase and assets decrease, you will need to decrease equity by the absolute value of both changes (ie -6 + 5 = 11). So, if Assets decrease by 5 and Liabilities increase by 6, then equity needs to decrease by 11 to keep the equation in equilibrium. Essentially this means that the journal entry will require some type of expense that is only partially paid. For example, if you buy a $10 widget and incur and expense immediately but only pay for half of it immediately then your journal entry will be: Dr. Widget expense 10 Cr. Accounts payable 5 Cr. Cash 5 Assets decrease, and Liabilities increase. The trouble you were having was not recognizing the need for the equalizing equity account.
Is a liability account a debit or a credit?
Remember the basic accounting equations Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity (Stockholders Equity) Assets increase with a debit Liabilities as well as Equity increase with a credit Liabilities have a credit balance (meaning you must credit the account to "increase" it and debit the account to "decrease" it) this makes liabilities a credit.
