Accounting Equation 01

Basic form of an equation


--> Left side = Right side

1. Balance Sheet Version


Assets = Liabilities + Equity

2. Income Statement Version


Net Income = Revenue - Expenses

3. Combined Version
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
---> Equity = Beginning Equity + Net Income

Assets = Liabilities + Beginning Equity + Net Income


---> Net Income = Revenue - Expenses

Assets = Liabilities + Beginning Equity + Revenue - Expenses

An Example of Combined Version

At January 1, 2010, the balance of equity was $100,000.


During the year of 2010, revenue and expenses were as follows
Revenue = $300,000
Expenses = $240,000

What is the balance of equity at December 31, 2010?

Equity = Beginning Equity + Revenue - Expenses


--> $100,000 + $300,000 - $240,000 = $160,000

At December 31, 2010, Entity A had the following balances


Assets = $280,000
Liabilities = $120,000
Equity = $160,000

Balance sheet version


Assets = Liabilities + Equity
--> $280,000 = $120,000 + $160,000

Combined version
Assets = Liabilities + Beginning Equity + Revenue - Expenses
--> $280,000 = $120,000 + $100,000 + $300,000 - $240,000

Cases and Practice Questions

Case 1:

Assets = $12,000
Liabilities = $5,000
Equity = $7,000
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
$12,000 = $5,000 + $7,000

Practice Question 1:

If Assets = $12,000 and Liabilities = $3,000


what is the amount of equity?

--> Equity = Assets - Liabilities = $12,000 - $3,000 = $9,000


Case 2:

Revenue = $16,000
Expenses = $10,000
Net income = Revenue - Expenses = $16,000 - $10,000 = $6,000

Practice Question 2:

If Revenue = $16,000 and Expenses = $11,000


what is the amount of net income?

--> Net income = Revenue - Expenses = $16,000 - $11,000 = $5,000

Case 3:

Assets = $25,000
Liabilities = $11,000
Beginning Equity = $10,000
Revenue = $36,000
Expenses = $32,000
Assets = Liabilities + Beginning Equity + Revenue - Expenses
$25,000 = $11,000 + $10,000 + $36,000 - $32,000

Practice Question 3:

In the following case, what is the amount of Beginning Equity


Assets = $55,000
Liabilities = $21,000
Revenue = $76,000
Expenses = $62,000
Beginning Equity = ?

Assets = Liabilities + Beginning Equity + Revenue - Expenses


$55,000 = $21,000 + ? + $76,000 - $62,000
--> Beginning Equity = ? = $20,000

Double Entry Recording 01

1. All accounting transactions are recorded


--> using "Double Entry" recording system

2. Double Entry Recording System


--> at least one "Debit" entry
--> at least one "Credit" entry

3. An example of double entry recording


Transaction --> purchased merchandise and paid $3,200 in cash
(1) One entry on debit --> merchandise 3,200
(2) One entry on credit --> cash 3,200
debit credit
 
merchandise 3,200  
cash 3,200
4. The sum of all debit entries = The sum of all credit entries
If the sums of debit and credit entries are not equal for any journal entry
--> the journal entry is not correct

5. Debit and credit sides of the accounting equation


Left side of the accounting equation = debit = assets
Right side of the accounting equation = credit = liabilities and equity

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

6. Debit side entries


(1) Increase in assets
(2) Decrease in liabilities
(3) Decrease in equity

7. Credit side entries


(1) Decrease in assets
(2) Increase in liabilities
(3) Increase in equity

8. Combined version of accounting equation


Assets = Liabilities + Beginning equity + Revenue - Expenses

9. Debit side entries


(1) Increase in assets
(2) Decrease in liabilities
(3) Decrease in equity
(4) Decrease in revenue
(5) Increase in expenses

10. Credit side entries


(1) Decrease in assets
(2) Increase in liabilities
(3) Increase in equity
(4) Increase in revenue
(5) Decrease in expenses

11. Normal Balances


(1) Asset accounts have normal balances on debit side
(2) Liability accounts have normal balances on credit side
(3) Equity accounts have normal balances on credit side
(4) Revenue accounts have normal balances on credit side
(5) Expense accounts have normal balances on debit side
