    Study Notes

    Accounting Equation and Business Transactions

    • The accounting equation represents the relationship between assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity in a business.
    • Assets (A) represent what the business owns, liabilities (L) represent what the business owes, and owner’s equity or proprietorship (P) represents the owner’s investment in the business.
    • The equation is expressed as: A = L + P, where equities represent the rights, claims, or interests of individuals over the business's assets.
    • Business transactions impact the equation: for example, when Dr. Gil opened a dental clinic and invested P100,000 cash, it affected the equation as A = Cash P100,000, L = 0, and P = Gil, Capital P100,000.
    • Other transactions, such as purchasing dental supplies on credit, billing for services, and buying assets for the business, also impact the equation by affecting the assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity.
    • The accounting equation is used to analyze the effects of various business transactions, such as investments, purchases, billings, payments, and withdrawals, on the financial position of the business.
    • The chart of accounts is a list of account titles used by the business to guide the bookkeeper and is divided into sections with each title having a code number.
    • The text also includes seat work exercises to apply the understanding of the accounting equation to different business transactions, such as investing cash, purchasing supplies, paying for promotions, collecting payments, and making withdrawals.
    • The examples and exercises demonstrate how each transaction affects the assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity, providing practical application of the accounting equation in business scenarios.
