I have a young man that started a business with his personal bank account and then incorporated the business later.
How do I merge these two accounts to reflect the business as a whole in the books?

What is the entry for personal donations to Goodwill?
Hello,
Thank you for your question.
All personal donations are coded through the equity account, so a typical entry for personal donations to Goodwill would be:
DEBIT Goodwill
CREDIT Owner's Equity - Contributions

We are a small business and every once in awhile we get low in the bank account and the owner will put his own personal funds into the account to build it back up. How do I track that in bookeeping so we can make sure he gets reimbursed and it does not show as an income? Also, when he accidently uses the company credit card for personal use..I would like to use that as "paying back" for when he puts money into the company.

The owner of a business introduces a laptop computer valued at £1100 into his business (this was his personal property).
The entries would be:-
a) Debit capital account
Credit office equipment
b) Debit office equipment
Credit drawings account
c) Debit office equipment
Credit capital account
d) None of these
I believe the answer is C.
When an owner contributes either property or money into a business, they would debit the asset account (Office Equipment) and credit the owners contribution account (Capital).

In 2010 I lend a large amount of money to ONE person.
It happenend in several smaller and larger transactions. How do I document these amounts properly in my books? I don't want to pay tax on it in 2011 when I get paid back.

I am paying my personal automobile loan with my company. What account do I put that in? Since the company does not have the loan in it's name, do I only put the loan under Automobile Expense?
Hi Dina,
Thanks for your inquiry. The money paid from your business account on your personal automobile loan should be put to a subdirectory account under Owner's Draw called Automobile Expense.
