    Basic analytics - Cash decreases by $570 while Salaries expense increases by $570

    Debit-credit analysis - Debit Salaries expense by $570 and Credit cash account by $570

    Explanation:

    When a company sell shares for cash, cash increases and the corresponding effect is that owner's equity increases by the same amount. Increase in assets is a debit to the asset account while an increase in equity is a credit to the account.

    When insurance is paid in advance, cash is given up for another asset called prepaid insurance. A credit to cash is an outflow and a debit to prepaid insurance is an increase.

    when revenue is earned and cash is received, the revenue balance increases and so does the cash balance.

    For salaries paid, it is an expense that results in cash reduction.
