RULES OF DEBIT AND CREDIT ALLOCATION IN THE ACCOUNTS :

1. ASSETS ---------- DEBIT -----------CREDIT
2. LIBAILITIES----- CREDIT ----------------DEBIT
3. CAPITAL ----------CREDIT ---------------DEBIT
4. INCOME (SALES)- CREDIT --------------DEBIT

6. DRAWINGS -----------DEBIT ---------------CREDIT

EXAMPLE :

1. CASH SALES
