Review Accounting Notes
1. State the accounting equation, and define its components. The basic accounting
equation is:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Assets are resources a business owns. Liabilities are creditors' claims on total assets.
Equity is the ownership claim on total assets.
The expanded accounting equation is:
Assets = Liabilities + Share Capital—Ordinary
+ Revenues – Expenses – Dividends
Share capital—ordinary is affected when the company issues new ordinary shares in
exchange for cash. Revenues are the gross increase in equity resulting from
business activities for the purpose of earning income. Expenses are the costs of
assets consumed or services used in the process of earning revenue. Dividends are
payments the company makes to its shareholders.
2, Describe the five financial statements and how they are prepared. An income
statement presents the revenues and expenses, and resulting net income or loss, for a
specific period of time. A retained earnings statement summarizes the changes in retained
earnings for a specific period of time. A statement of financial position reports the assets,
liabilities, and equity at a specific date. A statement of cash flows summarizes information
about the cash inflows (receipts) and outflows (payments) for a specific period of time. A
comprehensive income statement adds or subtracts any other comprehensive income to
net income to arrive at comprehensive Income.
