Understand the concept of 'normal balance' in accounting: it refers to the side (debit or credit) where increases to an account are recorded.
Recall that asset accounts represent resources owned by a company, such as cash, inventory, and equipment.
Know that asset accounts increase with debits and decrease with credits, so their normal balance is a debit balance.
Contrast this with liability and equity accounts, which typically have normal credit balances because they represent claims against assets.
Recognize that revenue accounts also have normal credit balances since they increase equity through income.
