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.AuthorPostsViewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
