Step-by-step explanation
Explanation for each transaction:
Sep.
1 - The amount invested is a debit to cash and credit to capital for 80,000 because it is an investment from the owner.
2 - Debit again to cash but this time it is credited to loan payable for 80,000 because the amount is loaned from bank.
8 - Debit the goods to inventory and credit to accounts payable for 75,000. Take note of the term 'on credit'
10 - distribution of goods is a form of advertising it so debit it to advertisement and credit it to inventory for 1,000.
12 - anything used for personal purpose will result to reduction of capital. but we don't debit capital when making a journal entry. so in this case you will debit drawings or withdrawal and credit to inventory (because it came from goods/stock) for 180.
16 - first, you should debit office equipment and then we credit accounts payable (because we see again 'on credit') for 2,500.
17 - we debit again office equipment. but this time it came from the personal items of the owner so there will be an addition to its investment. therefore, credit will be Capital for 3,800.
19 - you should debit the expense account and credit as payable because it was just billed not yet paid. amount is 9,600.
24 - just like in entry for sep. 12, it is again for personal purpose. so debit drawings and credit inventory for 680.
28 - this is similar to entries for sep. 12 and 24. so we debit again drawings. but the credit here will be different. on 12 and 24, the goods or stock was used for personal use. this time it will be cash, so we credit cash for 800.
