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).
A business line of credit can be considered an asset when used strategically to enhance the business's financial position and growth prospects. However, it is imperative to weigh its benefits against the risks and manage it judiciously to maintain a healthy balance sheet and ensure long-term financial stability.
When goods are purchased on credit, stock increases which is an asset and creditors increase, which is a liability.
