This has really helped a thousands and thousands of people.
It helped me get a CPA license.
I know that for sure it's a mapping system that I invented.
Let's go anyways.
What happened? You paid some rent man I found this widget in Fell's great place for $4,000 I know it's a lot of money, but he said we could have it for like a year.
Maybe two years I don't know he's kind of like a family friend, you know I kind of finessed I kind of wiggled.
My way in there we're kind of finessed it up.
You know, so that's how we do and so anybody's would you dink, oh man and I hope you could sell some widgets for god sakes, but widget Inc pays rent for $4,000 out of the check.
Well, we know: do we have cash? Do we have cash checking account? Yes, we do.
We have.
We have four thousand dollars leaving because you're paying rent for our for our warehouse space, so you're paying rent.
So there's money leaving out of our checking account so check.
Your account is an asset if it's leaving our our company.
That means see if it was positive, it was going up, it'd be a debit.
That's why it's under to happen in the positive form, but it's leaving.
So it's going to be a credit.
So it's going to go down because it's going down it's leaving, so four thousand dollars is going to be our credit and our checking it and our checking account here so we're gonna.
We're going to put four thousand dollars in our checking account, which goes in an asset box, envy asset box, but it's leaving our company.
So that's why it's a credit it since leaving now what's gonna, be our exhibit pane rent? Okay, so we got money going out for a service.
That's gonna! That's gonna! Help us selvages help us make money.
So it's like an ordinary in the ordinary course of business.
That's an expense money going out in the ordinary course of business, which this is in hopes of making more money.
That's what the rent is.
That's what that's, what the money is, leaving our business for us for rent and so that accounts going up because you're getting you're, gonna you're gonna get four thousand four thousand dollars in an expense account.
You might know, because debits have to equal credits.
Well, the rents gonna be a debit but or or you could get this we're like about account, you can get you can skin a cat.
You know I, don't know why you it's gonna cap, what you can get to the problem, a multitude of different ways.
You might know hey it's an expense, because that's what that's, what uh the rent is and things friends.
So it's a debit.
So, however, you might come to it, it's gonna be that's gonna, be our debit is four thousand dollars of rent when I can put rent rent expense, we're just gonna put rent okay and that happens to go in the expense box.
Let make sure I'm recording, yes, I'm, recording I would hate to not be recording this beautiful stuff.
So that's our journal.
Entry on 228 15.
That's our journal entry we're paying we're paying rent.
We have debit, rent, $4,000 credit up, checking account $4,000 in 228.
That's our journal entry for paying right! Now, let's go to our chart up, let's go to our chart accounts in general.
Ledger! You jump cut back in what are we gonna do now? Okay, what do we have? We had checking account four thousand dollars.
Let's look at the drill, they're checking out four thousand dollars and we had ran a four thousand dollars so we're those in our chart of accounts.
The checking account was, and the rent in the chart of accounts was not so we collect the rent in the chart of accounts in the chart of accounts inside of it.
What's going on in our specified time range whatever, and our special part time range is one one, one fifteen that was the start of our business.
Let's go, let's go with rent, because that was the first thing that happened was that our journal entry, that was our debit for four thousand dollars, so we had essence it was a debit.
That means it was.
It was going up in the expense, a two 2815 we have four thousand dollars in our rent in the general ledger in our rent inside of our chart of account of rent now for the fun now, for the fun part, is our general ledger.
We just had what's what's going on in our general ledger, for our checking account, we've had two things happened in our in our checking account since we started since we started our widget in business.
Look, we had a one one fifteen.
We had ten thousand dollars now we have now we deducted.
Four thousand dollars right because we have four thousand dollars, leaving our business.
That's correct right! That's our journal journal entry indicated so we have six thousand dollars in our checking account currently a two 28:15.
We have about six thousand dollars.
So that's! What's in our debt, that's! What's in our general ledger: yo-yo jump cup, yeah yeah, alright, so we do.
We had our journal entry I'm looking down here.
We have our journal entry, debit, four thousand run, credit checking account four thousand and that turned into our chart of accounts.
We had to add rent from from from that from that happening as a change, our checking account balance to six thousand dollars and had a rent of four thousand dollars in our general Ledger's from each of those accounts.
Now, let's see what that data with that journal, entry that that made a change in the chart of accounts, there add to add grant, and then it changed the general Ledger's for the checking account it brought.
It brought the total to six thousand and it made the rent account four thousand dollars.
So what we did was we added rent to the rent affected, the income statement, the checking account affected the balance sheet and now you'll see why the net income flows over and makes things work.
So now our income statement has has the addition of rent.
We still don't have any revenue.
Income statement is revenue minus expenses, so all we have is an expense of four thousand dollars, so our net income is negative, four thousand dollars and that flows over from our income statement.
It flows over to our balance sheet.
So now we're balanced.
You have and then income of negative four thousand dollars.
We still have no retained earnings and equity, so our equity is negative.
Four thousand dollars.
What's our what's our balance sheets, you know assets, equal liabilities, plus equity.
What's our assets, the only asset we have in widgets Inc right now is $6,000 in our checking account, and this is on 228 I'm.
Sorry.
This is on 228 the balance sheet, we'll go over that more, but the income statements for a period, 0, 1, 0, 1 15 to 228 15, is for the period it's for a hope for the whole period.
It's gonna end up being for the whole year and the balance sheet is just on this day on this day.
Right now so 228 15 in the balance sheet, we have our asset of $6,000 and that has to equal because assets, equal liabilities plus equity.
That has two, so our liabilities and equity has to equal 6,000.
Does it well? What's what's on our liabilities alone, from Cheryl or for $10,000 that didn't change? What else is on our balance sheet? Well, we have negative $4,000 net income net income under the equity, so liabilities and equity equals 6,000, which equals 6,000 the balance sheet ooop now, oh, these are definitely gonna, be a little rusty.
I'm like making changes every single time and I I wanted to do this series earlier, but then I kept on being like oh well, making changes and it's not perfect.
It's not perfect and I had to think back to you know if you wait till everything's, perfect, you're, never going to start, and that's like one of my things like it's like a lust Brown quote like you're gonna, just jump and grow your wings on the way down.
So that's what I'm doing I like jumped off the cliff from started this series.
This is the second one on widget, Inc I, think it's 74, so we're gonna run up to a hundred on these, and you know: I'm gonna try to make everyone better, make everyone every widgets, Inc, better and better and better, and if you liked it, please like share subscribe, leave a comment like how I can make this better or maybe what you want to do in a journal.
