Accounting Equation and Cash Management
- The accounting equation maintains balance; assets = liabilities + equity is always true.
- A business initial capital of ₹10,00,000 is represented as cash.
- Transactions impact cash flow; they can either increase or decrease the cash balance.
- Cash inflow occurs from sales of goods and collection from customers.
- Cash outflow occurs due to expenses like purchasing goods, salaries, and rent.
- Tracking cash changes via each transaction can be cumbersome and complex.
Efficient Cash Tracking
- A more efficient method involves using two columns to record cash transactions:
- One column for cash increases (inflows).
- Another column for cash decreases (outflows).
- By adding all inflows to the opening cash balance, and deducting all outflows, the closing cash balance can be easily determined.
- This method provides significant insights into cash flow management for the business.
