Description
<p>Example # 1</p>
<p>Our Accounts Receivable balance increased by $20,000 from the end of last period to the end of this period.</p>
<p>1. Accounts Receivable is an asset, so it must be debited to increase its balance.</p>
<p>2. Create journal entry:</p>
<p> Debit Credit</p>
<p>Accounts Receivable $20,000</p>
<p> Fake Cash $20,000</p>
<p>3. A $20,000 increase in Accounts Receivable = $20,000 cash flow reduction on the statement of cash flows.</p>
<p>Example # 2</p>
<p>Our Accounts Payable balance increased by $10,000 from the end of last period to the end of this period.</p>
<p>1. Accounts Payable is a liability, so it must be credited to increase its balance.</p>
<p>2. Create journal entry:</p>
<p> Debit Credit</p>
<p>Fake Cash $10,000</p>
<p> Accounts Payable $10,000</p>
<p>3. A $10,000 increase in Accounts Payable = $10,000 cash flow increase on the statement of cash flows.</p>
<p>Example # 3</p>
<p>Our Accrued Expense Payable decreased by $25,000 from the end of last period to the end of this period.</p>
<p>1. Accrued Expense Payable is a liability, so it must be debited to decrease its balance.</p>
<p>2. Create journal entry:</p>
<p> Debit Credit</p>
<p>Accrued Expense Payable $25,000</p>
<p> Fake Cash $25,000</p>
<p>3. A $25,000 reduction to Accrued Expense Payable = $25,000 cash flow decrease on the statement of cash flows. </p>
