Question
“Every transaction has debit and credit aspects.” Explain.

Answer

According to this concept, every business transaction is recorded as having a dual aspect. In other words, every transaction affects atleast two accounts. If one account is debited, any other account must be credited. The system of recording transactions based on this principle is called as ‘Double Entry System'. It is because of this concept that the two sides of the Balance Sheet are always equal and the following accounting equations will always hold good at any point of time:
Assets = Liabilities + Capital
OR
Capital = Assets - Liabilities
