AND
ACCOUNTING EQUATION
BUSINESS TRANSACTION
\ tramsvetion has been defined as "an exchange of value", Any exchange of value
fvings about an immediate change in the amount, nature, or composition of a firm's assets
or equities, A transaction has tiken plice when a firm buys buildin, s have been
aected as a result of this transaction since the firm has new asset in the form of building
if the payment has been paid in cash, another asset cash has been also affected. If the
parchase is on credit, liabilities are
Neeted.
Briefly we can say that the occurrence of an event or of condition that must be recorded
is called business transaction, Business operations consist of a series of transactions. One
of the purpose of Accounting is to record the stream of transactions so that their affect
can be correctly and clearly reflected in the Accounting reports
operation ean be easily measured.
tions will fall into the following basic groups:~
upon assets and equities
and the results of the business
Most of the business trans
1) Investment of the capital by the owners,
2) Purchase of goods, assets and services.
3) Sale of goods or services to customers either for cash or on credit,
4) Collection of receivable from customers or other
5) Payment of liabilities incurred on the purchase of goods and services.
6) Borrowing of funds from financial institutions and others
7) Withdrawal of assets and goods by owners.
8) Repayment of borrowed funds
ACCOUNTING EQUATION
Accounting equation may be defined as "a device by which the fingneial
position of a business can be checked at a glance", Balance Sheet also serve the
same purposes as the Accounting equation is, Due to this reason we say that when
the Balance Sheet equality is expressed in equation form, the resulting equation is
called the Balance Sheet equation or Accounting equation which is expressed as
under: .
As:
s = Equities (Liabilities + Owner's equity or Capital)
OR
= Liabilities + Owner's equity or Capital

above three situations the assets and liabilities would be effected directly while
the owner’s equity would increase by increasing the revenue and decrease by increasing
the expenses or losses.
The effect is shown below by the use of (+) = or (-) placed against the element
affected. To illustrate this concept, the following business transactions are assumed.
Transaction 1. .
Mr. Saleem started his business by investing therein cash Rs. 4,00,000, The
effect of this transaction will be that the cash will increase by Rs. 4,00,000 and owner's
equity or capital will also increase by the similar amount. The equation will appear as
follows:-
Asset = Equities
Cash iabiliti

Transaction 3,
Mr. Saleem purchased building for cash Rs. 100,000. This transaction affected
the Accounting equation as the increase in one asset building and decrease in another
asset cash with the same amount.
Assets = Equity
Cash + Merchandise + ~~ Building = Liabilities + Capital
3,00,000 1,00,000 + 4,00,000
=_ 100.000 + + 1,00,000
2,00,000 + 1,00,000 + 1,00,000 = + 4,00,000
Transaction 4.
Merchandise worth Rs. 50,000 was sold for cash Rs. 60,000. The cost of the
merchandise sold was Rs. 50,000 and it was sold for Rs. 60,000. There is a profit of Rs.
10,000. Profit belongs to the proprietor; therefore, proprietorship i.e. the capital will
increase by Rs. 10,000. The effect of this transaction is therefore; a decrease in
merchandise to the extent of cost Rs. 50,000 an increase of Rs. 60,000 in cash asset and
increases in capital Rs, 10,000. Thus:—
Assets = Equity
Cash + Merchandise + Building = Liabilities + Capital
2,00,000 1,00,000 + — 1,00,000 + 4,00,000
+ 60,000 ~ 50,000 + 10,000
2,60,000 + 50,000 + 1,00,000= + 4,10,000
Transaction 5.
Mr. Saleem purchased Merchandise from Nazir for-Rs. 20,000 on credit. The
effect of this transaction on Accounting equation is that the asset merchandise will
increase by Rs. 20,000 and liability is also increased by the same amount. This
transaction brings about a change on both sides of the equation.
Assets. = Equity
Cash + Merchandise + Building = A/C payable + Capital
2,60,000 50,000 + — 1,00,000 vn - 4,10,000
+ 20,000 + 20,000
2,60,000 + 70,000 + 1,00,000 = 20,000 +4,10,000
Transaction 6.
Mr. Saleem paid Rs. 10,000 to Nazir on Account. This transaction will decrease
cash Rs. 10,000 and Accounts payable will also decrease by the same amount. The new
equation will be as under:
Assets = Equity
Cash + — Merchandise + Building = A/C payable + — Capital
2,60,000 70,000 + 100,000 20,000 + -4.10,000

Determine the value of missing component:
Assets = Liabilities + Capital
a) Rs, 90.000 Rs. 30,000 + Rs. ?
b) Rs. 70,000 + Rs. + Rs. 30,000
c)Rs.? = Rs. 35,000 + Rs,. 40,000
Solution:
a) Aswe know tha ,
Assets = Liabilities + Capital
It means that:
Capital = Assets - Liabilities
by putting values: <
Capital = 90,000 - 30,000
Capital = 60,000
b) _ Aswe know that:
Assets = Liabilities + Capital
OR
Liabilities cs Assets - Capital
by putting valu .
Liabilities = = 70,000 - 30,000
Liabilities = 40,000
©) Aswe know that:
Assets = Liabilities + Capital
by putting values:
