What do you debit and credit on a credit sale?

Assume we are selling a dress on credit for $100; the dress has a cost of $80. Accounts receivable: debit 100 Sales: credit 100 Cost of goods sold: debit 80 Inventory: credit 80 The rationale is as follows: Inventory is an asset (normal debit balance), which is reduced (hence a credit) Accounts receivable is an asset (normal debit balance), which increases (hence a credit) A profit is made of 20, hence equity increases. Instead of applying a credit on retained earnings, temporary T-accounts are used (sales and cost of goods sold) Sales has a normal credit balance, hence it is credited Cost of goods sold has a normal debit balance, hence it is debited Notice that the two temporary T-accounts together are credited for 20, which is the profit margin
