Explanation:

In Financial accounting, debit refers to an entry made which would either increase an expense or asset account; therefore, decreasing an equity or liability account.

Credit refers to an entry made which would either increase an equity or liability account; therefore, decreasing an expense or asset account.

Generally, debit is an accounting entry which is made to the left of an account while credit is an accounting entry which is made to the right of an account. The standard rule is that, when a credit decreases an account, the opposite account should be increased with a debit.
