What to Focus On

  • Accounting equation is the foundation of all accounting records.
  • It expresses equality between assets on one side and liabilities plus capital on the other.
  • It is based on the dual aspect concept.
  • Basic form: Assets = Liabilities.
  • Standard form: Assets = Liabilities + Capital.
  • Liabilities = Assets – Capital.
  • Capital introduced increases both assets and capital.
  • Additional capital also increases both sides equally.
  • The equation remains balanced after capital is added.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Accounting equation means Assets = Capital only.

Business itself owns assets and owes liabilities independently.

If cash is used to buy furniture or goods, capital changes.

Memory Tips
