Study Notes
Cash and Capital Transactions
- Services rendered for cash lead to an increase in cash and an increase in fees earned.
- Paying wages to an employee decreases an asset (cash) and decreases owner's equity.
- Recording a Consultant Expense impacts financial statements by increasing liabilities and decreasing owner's equity.
Owner's Equity
- Owner's equity increases with revenue and decreases with expenses, drawings, or asset depreciation.
- Contributing personal assets (such as a car) to the business results in an increase in assets and an increase in owner's equity.
Accounting Equation Fundamentals
- The accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity) ensures balanced financial statements.
- Changes in assets, liabilities, and owner's equity must always reflect this balance.
Classification of Business Transactions
- Transactions are classified as simple (immediate cash sales) or complex (credit purchases).
- One-off transactions occur once, while ongoing transactions happen repeatedly.
- Capital transactions have long-term impacts, while revenue transactions are routine, day-to-day activities.
Analysis of Liabilities and Equity
- If assets increase by Rs. 7 million and owner's equity decreases by Rs. 3 million, liabilities must increase by Rs. 4 million.
- Purchasing machinery has specific effects on balance sheet accounts; significant effects include increasing machinery assets and liabilities if on credit.
Machinery Purchase for Cash
- Purchasing machinery for cash results in unchanged total assets, as cash is exchanged for another asset.
- A down payment on machinery increases total assets (machine value) and increases liabilities correspondingly for the unpaid portion.
Cash Investment in Business
- Investing cash into the business results in an increase in cash and an increase in equity.
