Excerpt from The Theory of Debit and Credit in Accounting Every student of accounting experiences difficulty in seeing any principle on which impersonal accounts are debited and credited. At the outset, he wonders why Cash should be debited when money is received, and credited when money is paid out; and, as the other impersonal accounts are taken up, his difficulty increases. Various explanations for the debit and credit of impersonal accounts have been given. None of them ever seemed to the writer satisfactory. After long and careful consideration of the subject, he submits the explanation contained in the following pages as the correct one.

Although each of the pieces included in this collection has been cited as an outstanding contribution to the literature on the subject, they are not available in most libraries. Each of them is a classic on the theory of double-entry bookkeeping. Of the nine articles reprinted in this volume originally published in 1984, those by Ladelle, Hotelling and Anton are recognized as being the classic articles on the depreciation of a single ‘machine’. Each of these articles was published in a journal that is often not accessible and reprinted here has brought them together in one place. For many years accountants have dealt with depreciation and capital maintenance as a static problem. This volume recognizes its dynamic aspects.

Excerpt from The Theory of Accounts: Containing the Essentials of Bookkeeping and Forms of Higher Accounting If we wish to make entries in the day book that do not show debits or credits, we can use any descriptive style that may be brief and plain and omit the term Dr. Or Cr. The day book is generally ruled with two amount columns, the first being used for the items of a transaction, and the second for the total of these items. If only one item belongs to a transaction, its amount can be carried out to the last column. A transaction that is partly for cash and partly on account, as a purchase with cash paid for a part of the amount and the balance on account, or a sale with cash received for a part of the amount and the balance on account, should be posted in full in the ledger. The entire purchase should be credited from the day book, and the cash paid to apply on same should be debited from the cash book; or the entire sale should be debited from the day book, and the cash received to ap ply ou same should be credited from the cash book.

Excerpt from Elements of Accounting: Theory and Practice The purpose Of the present text is to bridge the gap between bookkeeping and accounting. It presupposes a knowledge of debit and credit, and from this point con ducts the serious student through the field of accounting. Elementary bookkeeping is reviewed; Single Entry is studied, compared with, and changed to, Double Entry; accounting is differentiated from bookkeeping, and is itself defined; and then the applications Of accounting to book keeping are shown and applied. The complete set Of books which accompanies the last chapter is intended to afford practice in modern practical accounting. With these four chapters as a basis, the student is introduced, in succession, to partnership and to corporation accounting, the latter including consolidations. The preparation Of final state ments, according to the most approved modern practice, is the subject of two full chapters. An intervening one deals with the difficult subjects of depreciation, reserves, sink ing fund and investment accounting. Chapters on the accounts of non-trading concerns, statements Of' affairs and deficiency accounts, and realiza tion and liquidation, are also included. Then there have been incorporated two chapters on cost accounts, and finally a chapter on auditing. Supplementary exercises on all chapters, together with sample examination papers from various sources, have been furnished for additional practice.

Excerpt from Theory of Bookkeeping Bookkeeping is the science of accounts and the systematic method of keeping business records. The system of bookkeeping now in use throughout the Western world originated with the Venetians about the close of the fifteenth century, and was an outgrowth of the extensive commerce carried on by Venice, Florence, and other Italian cities at that time. Single Entry is a method of bookkeeping in which a record is kept of accounts with persons only. The customers are charged with purchases or credited with payments, but no record is kept of the merchandise or other properly which enters into the transaction. This method is open to the objection that the record is incomplete. Single entry is little used except in very small concerns. Double Entry, as its name implies, is a method of keeping accounts in which every debit has a corresponding credit. Under this method the commodities or things which enter into the business are debited and credited the same as persons, thus furnishing a record of the cash, goods or other property belonging to the business. Since every debit must have a credit of equal amount, the books should always be in balance, and this equilibrium of debit and credit is a test of their correctness. Debtor and Creditor. A debtor is one who owes a debt. A creditor is one to whom a debt is owing. These two classes of persons embrace all with whom any house sustains business relations. They are diametrically opposite in character. The one has cost the business something and the other has produced or furnished the business something. One of these classes we will charge; the other we will credit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
