Sales are a credit balance because it is income. Salaries and wages are debit balances because they are expenses. Credits are income or liabilities. Debits are expenses or assets. I would suggest that you watch my free lectures. All of this is explained in detail in the lectures. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
