@ahmedqayyum, No – withdrawals are never an expense. Expenses appear on the Income Statement – drawings never appear on the income statement.
On the Statement of Financial Position, you show the amount owing to the owner as capital at the start of the year, plus any profit, less any drawings. That ends up giving you the capital at the end of the year.
However, you cannot simply debit the capital account with the drawings because you must show the capital at the start of the year and the drawings separately on the Statement of Financial Position.
If you watch the remaining lectures for this chapter then it is made clear, and explains how at the end of the year then you do transfer the balance on the drawings account to the debit of the capital account (but only at the end of the year).

Hello Everybody. Does anyone knows if it is possible to download video lectures? Thnaks

The lectures are not downloadable – this is the only way that we can keep this website free of charge.

ahmedqayyum says
For part J where $100 is withdrawn in the form of cash, is it still correct if we DR the capital a/c instead of the withdrawals a/c?
John Moffat says
@ahmedqayyum, No – drawings must be kept separate from capital.
ahmedqayyum says
@johnmoffat, So we’re treating Withdrawals as an expense?
