Study Notes

Double-Entry Bookkeeping

  • Every transaction is recorded twice, with equal debits and credits.
  • The accounting equation must always remain balanced: Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

Accounting Equation

  • Assets represent what the business owns.
  • Liabilities represent what the business owes to others.
  • Equity represents the owner's investment in the business.

Accounting Basics

  • Debit: Increases assets and decreases liabilities and equity.
  • Credit: Decreases assets and increases liabilities and equity.

Typical Accounting Accounts

Asset Accounts

  • Examples include: Land, Buildings, Cash, Trade Receivables (money owed by customers).

Liability Accounts

  • Examples include: Trade Payables (money owed to suppliers), Salaries Payable (money owed to employees), Loans.

Equity Accounts

  • Examples include: Capital, Sales, Income Accounts, Expense Accounts.

Examples

  • Investment: When Mr. X invests Rs. 1,00,000 in the business:

    • Cash (asset) increases, so it is debited.
    • Capital (equity) increases, so it is credited.
  • Purchase on Credit: When equipment is bought from 'A' company on credit for Rs. 3,000:

    • Equipment (asset) increases, so it is debited.
