Helpful Tip: Debit and credit still confuse many students. Just think of debit and credit as left and right. Luckily, credit has an "R" for right. In an income statement, you see revenues and expenses. Luckily again, revenue has an "R" for right.

A recap of B/S: Asset items show on the left side of the B/S, hence increase in asset item is recorded on the left, i.e., the debit. Decrease in asset will be on the right hand side. Liability and equity items are credit items, and increase of L or SE shows up on the right. Again, decrease in L or SE item will show up on the left side.

The whole income statement (I/S) boils down to one item in the B/S, Retained earnings. Remember Revenues minus expenses equal to net income, and net income - dividends = retained earnings. IOW, all the revenues and expenses of a firm in an accounting period (like a month, quarter or a year) is summarized in one number (=net income), which is the change in Retained earnings item in the B/S at the end of the period.

Journal entries and T-accounts work about the same way for income statement items.

Example (1), ABC Corp makes a cash sale of $500.

1. You know cash and revenue are account titles here. Cash is asset, and its increase is a "left" side item.

2. Revenue is credit, and its increase is written on the right side of journal and T-account.

Result in the Journal

Cash                   500

Revenue              500

Result in T-accounts

Example (2), ABC Corp receives cash $500 before its delivery.

1. Cash is asset, and its increase is a "left" side item.

2. Since product is not delivered yet, ABC doesn't recognize revenue yet. Instead, we use a title called "Unearned revenue," which is a liability of ABC. Increase in liability will be on the right side of journal and T-account.

Result in the Journal

Cash                     500

Unearned Revenue  500

Result in T-accounts

When the product is actually delivered, this is what happens:

Unearned Revenue           500
