Does the worksheet contain a trial balance?
Yes, a typical worksheet will contain trial balances. In fact, worksheets often have two trial balances:
A trial balance, which has all your accounts with unadjusted figures, straight from their balances.
You would then go through and adjust some accounts, such as prepaid (prepaid advertising, prepaid insurance), payables (superannuation payable, wages payable), bad debts expense...
An adjusted trial balance, which you would use after you have gone through your ledger accounts and made any adjustments (end of the month processes, like balance day adjustments..
The headings in the Worksheet will often include:
Acct. No. | Account | Trial Balance | Adjustments | Adjusted Trial Balance | Income Statement | Balance Sheet |
In short, no. It is a debit entry.
The correct entry for "drawings" is as follows, as per the general journal:
Dr Drawings $500
Cr Cash at bank $500
(Owner withdrew $500 cash from business funds)
Post this entry to the ledger accounts,
Drawings Account:
Dr. Cash at bank $500
Cash at Bank Account:
Cr. Drawings $500
Drawings is debited because it is a negative equity (capital and drawings) account, and so has a DR nature. Since your drawings are increasing, you are making your drawings account larger, and so you would debit it. Consequently, taking money out of the business will decrease the cash supply, and so causes the "cash at bank" to be credited $500.
Hope this helped :)
Happy accounting!!
