hahaha.... on the 1st transaction both accounts increase
Cash + 200 since it is an Asset account and
Revenues + 200 since it is sales.

I believe she said this because you take in "cash". Then it becomes revenue- but if you are doing books you can't have both because cash you take in will be used for something. If you are keeping it in your revenue because you do not need to make a purchase with your "cash" then it remains a revenue. So in debiting "cash" and crediting "Revenue" you are making a purpose for the income and your books will numerically remain the same! So no she was correct.

isn't Cash at Bank Debit, Revenue Credit?
Revenue is Credit in nature, so increase with a credit. CaB is assets so debit in nature increase with debit.

1:12 I would never run a company that sold candles and in turn reduced the cash account.... REALLY what happens when you sell a product is you increase your cash account. To make money.... it's better for business
