Credit Balance
When the dollar amount of the credit or right side entries to a T account is more than the debit or left side entries, we say the account has a credit balance.
Susan credited accounts payable for $6,000 and debited accounts payable for $4,000. Since $6,000 is $2,000 more than $4,000, we would say that accounts payable has a credit balance of $2,000.
