Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Double Entry System of Accounting means every business transaction involves at least two accounts. In other words, every business transaction has an equal and opposite effect in minimum two different accounts. Thus, this system of accounting is based on the Dual Aspect Concept of accounting.

Detailed explanation-2: -Double-entry bookkeeping, also known as double-entry accounting, is a method of bookkeeping that relies on a two-sided accounting entry to maintain financial information. Every entry to an account requires a corresponding and opposite entry to a different account.

Detailed explanation-3: -The double-entry system of accounting or bookkeeping means that for every business transaction, amounts must be recorded in a minimum of two accounts. The double-entry system also requires that for all transactions, the amounts entered as debits must be equal to the amounts entered as credits.

Detailed explanation-4: -The double-entry rule is thus: if a transaction increases an asset or expense account, then the value of this increase must be recorded on the debit or left side of these accounts. Likewise in the equation, capital (C), liabilities (L) and income (I) are on the right side of the equation representing credit balances.

Detailed explanation-5: -Single-entry and double-entry accounting are both methods of record-keeping for companies’ financial transaction data. Single-entry accounting records each transaction one single time, while double-entry accounting records each transaction twice, once as a debit and once as a credit.
