Answer: B. your Debt to Credit ratio
Explanation:
Your debt to credit ratio is important to lenders because it shows whether you spend wisely when given debt.
Debt to credit is measured as the percentage of debt you have given your credit limit. If for instance you have a credit card limit of $50,000 and have debt of $10,000, your debt to credit ratio is:
= 10,000/50,000 * 100
= 20%
Generally the lower this ratio, the better the contribution to your credit score.
Answer:
All of them.
Explanation:
Accounting systems are designed to show the increases and decreases in each financial statement item as a separate record. This record is called an account. In the T account, the debit is on the left and the credit is on the right.
The equity for credits and debits for each transaction is build into the accounting equation: assets = liabilities + equity. Because of this doble equality, this system is called double entry accounting system.
In balance sheet accounts:
-asset accounts debit for increases and credit for decreases.
-liability accounts debit for decreases and credit for increases.
-equity accounts debit for decreases and credit for increases.
