The above event gives rise to a cash balance of Rs.10,000, at the same time business owes Rs.10,000 to the owner.Liabilities (Sources) = Assets (Uses)Owners Equity=Cash10,000=10,00008/17/14For example assume that in above business, land & Buildings worth Rs. 8,000 are bought for cash.

The above event will make the Accounting equation look as:-08/17/14Liabilities=Assets

Owners Equity = Cash + Land & Buildings

10,000=2,000 + 8,000

08/17/14 Another Example: In the same business a vehicle is purchased for Rs.4,000 by taking a loan for the purpose. The Accounting equation for the above will be:

08/17/14Liabilities=AssetsOwners equity + loan = Cash + L&B + Vehicle

10,000 + 4,000 = 2,000 + 8,000 + 4,00014,000=14,000

08/17/14Accounting Equation (Cont..)Ex.4.1) A Proprietor starts business with Rs. 5000.

4.2) The Proprietor Purchases Furniture For Rs. 1000 in cash

4.3) Goods Purchased on Credit for Rs. 2000.

4.4) Goods sold for Rs. 1000/- in cash.

08/17/14Solution4.1) Owners Capital = Assets5000=50004.2) Owners Capital = Furniture + cash5000= 1000 + 40005000=50004.3) Creditors + Capital = Furniture + Cash + Stock2000+5000=1000+ 4000 + 20007000=70004.4) Creditors + Capital = Furniture + Cash + Stock 2000+5000=1000+ 5000 + 1000
