MODULE TITLE: Business Transaction and Their Analysis as Applied to the Accounting Cycle of a Service Business- Part I
We have learned from our previous modules that accounting uses the double-entry system,
which means that each business transaction has dual effects: the receiving (value received-
Debit) and giving (value parted with-Credit) side. Thus, for every transaction there are at
least two accounts getting affected—debit and credit account. Debits and Credits are the
inherent parts of journalizing process. These terms are taken from the Latin past participles of debitum
and creditum and further abbreviated as DR meaning debere and CR credere, respectively.
For example: The business received P100,000 cash as initial investment of the owner.
Received: Cash P100,000
Gave or Issued: Capital P100,000 to the owner
