When owner injected cash/any other asset into business, this is credited to its capital
account . When he takes cash or stock or any other asset from business for his personal
use, so capital account should be debited by the amount. But instead debiting capital, we
will make debit in a separate account called Drawings account. Cash or stock or any other
asset taken from business for personal use by the owner is called Drawings
