    Thanks for asking. The debit is on the left, the credit is on the right, that much I know for sure. But the rest of the question does have me on pins and needles. I just returned from a party and everyone had a chance to look at the question and offer their opinion. Needless to say, it was a very mixed and heated debate and there was little consensus. What we did manage to conclude is that your answer is readily available in a book we all recommend. I have added the link below and if I were you, I would get my hands on that before everyone at the party buys them all up.
    I realize knowing the exact answer would be helpful. But a good second choice is knowing with confidence where it can be found.
