Starting from the very basic, double-entry bookkeeping is considered the idea, in which every transaction will include a minimum of two accounts, if not more. To be more precise, if a business organization takes a loan, the cash account will raise due to the loan amount. However, the liability account will also rise in the particular account category called loans payable. Likewise, if a company buys print ads, the cash account reduces while the expense account that is under the advertising expense account category will rise.

Liabilities + Owner’s Equity = Assets
