Understanding Debit (DR) and Credit (CR) Assets equal liabilities plus shareholders' equity on a balance sheet or in a ledger using Pacioli's method of bookkeeping or double-entry accounting. An increase in the value of assets is a debit to the account, and a decrease is a credit.
For example, when a company purchases inventory on credit, its inventory (asset) increases, and so does its accounts payable (liability). Thus, while the company's assets grow, the increase in liabilities must be carefully managed to ensure a healthy balance sheet.
A company's liabilities are obligations or debts to others, such as loans or accounts payable. A credit increases liabilities, while a debit decreases them. For example, when a company buys $10,000 worth of inventory on credit, it debits inventory and credits accounts payable (the liability).
If the company purchases equipment on credit, it should recognize an accounts payable. Both the asset and liability increase.
Answer and Explanation: When an inventory is purchased on account, we record it in the book of accounts by increasing both the current assets and current liabilities. As current liabilities increase, the debt-to-equity ratio increases. The total value of the numerator increases, while the equity is unchanged.
When goods are purchased on credit, stock increases which is an asset and creditors increase, which is a liability.
