  • Answer:

    These are accounting conventions which you just have to learn by heart: Assets and expenses are debits. Liabilities, equity and revenue are credits. The basic accounting equation is as you understand, although it is also expressed as: Assets = Liabilities + Equity Writing it this way keeps the debit on one side and all the credits on the other side.
