Rules of double entry bookkeeping:A = L + OEA = L + Share Capital + Income Expenses Dividends
Assets are on the left, so increase them with debits.
Liabilities and equity are on the right, so increase them
with credits. Equity is increased with share capital and income (including
revenues), so increase these accounts with credits. But expenses and the Dividends account decrease equity, so
increase these accounts with debits.
