from Chapters 4 & 5.
Account – a record that documents each change to items in the accounting
equation
Ledger – is a group or file of accounts
trial balance – a list of all the account balances in a ledger used to check
that the sum of the debits equals the sum of the credits
double-entry system of accounting – system of accounting in general use in
which every transaction is recorded both as a debit in one or more
accounts and as a credit in one or more accounts.
fiscal period – period of time over which earnings are measured.
general journal – simple journal with two money columns, one for debit and
one for credit amounts. Part of the five-journal system
chart of accounts – list of the accounts of a business and their numbers,
arranged according to their order in the ledger
income statement – financial statement that summarizes the items of
revenue and expenses over a period of time (video). Shows the net income
or net loss of a business.
payment on account – money paid to a creditor to reduce the balance owned
to that creditor

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
49 700 = Liabilities + 19 300
Liabilities = 49 700 – 19 300
