    You're a bloody legend for splitting the video up into titled sections. First time I've ever seen that on UA-cam to be honest, and it's definitely one of those things you didn't know you wanted until you had it. Great video. You should probably allow ads on your videos as soon as you can cause this is good content and you should be paid for it.

      You are teaching accounting in High School? Man, must be a good high school. I usually refer to high school as only really useful for basic stuff like math and history, add geography if they can teach that well, but to be teaching something as career practical as accounting is something else, glad some schools are getting better at recognizing useful material

    @darylyue2026 3 роки тому +1

    Thank you so much James! Just to support some English. For anyone who doesn't know "mark up" means, "mark up" means increased price of goods. From 3:00 in the video, there is "60% mark up on cost". The cost is $5, the increased price is $3 ($5*60%), which means the "mark up" is $3. Therefore, the original cost is $5, the mark up is $3, the sale price is $8.
    Hope it helps! And correct if I were wrong.

  • @CristianSanchez-fs6vk

    • @AccountingStuff
      @AccountingStuff  4 роки тому +2

      Apologies, I should have been clearer... A Mark Up on Cost is the difference between the Selling Price and the Cost of Goods expressed as a percentage of the cost. So if the Goods costed $5 then then a 60% mark up would mean $3 of profit (60% x $5) which means the total selling price is $8

    Thank you so much, currently using WileyPlus for an online summer course and am basically having to teach myself. Had no clue what was happening in chapter one, found this, and everything clicked. Will be using you for future learning

    I'm taking accounting courses right now for my Bachelor's and your videos are saving the day!! I've been trying to understand debits & credits for hours now and the more I watch your videos the more it makes sense. I'm gonna keep watching but I had to say thank you for this!!

    oh...and I also have to say. I used to love my PAPER general ledger and t-accounts! The rules and concepts are all familiar, but Now I have to learn the technology! :-) Thank you!

    I've spent the past hour reading up various definitions to figure out how this formula works.. like how can your liabilities be considered assets?
    But after watching your video, it all makes sense. Everything balances out and that's how it works :)

    Shirt! I spent 4h to learn all of this in 2 chapters of Survey of Accounting and you made it all clear with a 5min video? You are a life saver!

    This link came up on my browser when looking into something about accounting. I clicked on it just for fun and out of curiosity. I have a Bachelors in Business with a concentration in accounting and have never in my life seen this so simplified. Great job! I am subscribed!

    BEST, Absolutely best examples and explanation of a balance sheet. I'm not an accountant and I'm trying to determine what goes where on the balance sheet (I mean, the current and non-current/ liability and equity spaces), and this video has made it very obvious. I'm still going to need more training but I've got to say, no one made a better example/ training on UA-cam like you. Thank you.

    Thanks for the video. I was getting really tired of some trying to explain a balance sheet by just droning on that a balance sheet must balance because that's why it's called a balance sheet; like it's some sort of cult. With your explanation and examples I can see some purpose behind it and get a grip on what's going on in it. Cheers

    Wow. That example was really helpful. Just seeing the breakdown of each transaction made the equation much more palatable.

    Hey there! LOVE these videos. I am in university now, planning to become an accountant. I sometimes think this is an impossible task. You are making it easier for me and for that thank you so much.
    SUGGESTION: Can you do a video on the foundational principles (and examples of each).
    By this I mean 1) recognition and derecognition (economic entity, control, revenue recognition, matching ) 2) measurement (periodicity, monetary unit, going concern, historical cost, fair value), 3) presentation (full disclosure)
    This may be too much for one video, maybe a three-part series??
    Thanks for the great content and I hope you keep it up!!!
