Account?

Answer Posted / rajni bansal

Real Account: It mainly includes two things tangible and
intangible assests.tangible assest are those which can be
touch or seen e.g.building,machinery etc.and intangible
assest are those that cannot be touch or seen
e.g.goodwill,patents ,trademarks etc.The rule of real
account is Debit what comes in Credit what goes out.
Nominal account- In this account we include all expenses and
losses e.g. Bad debts,salary,rent etc
The rule of nominal account ig Debit all expenses and losses
Credit all incomes and gains
If we add the word prefix and suffix to the nominal account
than that becomes a personal account e.g outstanding
salary,prepaid salary,prepaid rent etc and this is called
as a personal account.
