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

Basic accounting equation before capital is introduced

Rearranged formulas of the accounting equation
