Accounting is based on the principle of two-sided. In order to carry out business activities, the company needs funds; these funds must be given to the company by someone. The funds owned by the company are called assets. Part of these assets is provided by the owner, total amount of funds contributed by him is called owner’s equity or capital. If the owner is the only one who contributed, then the equation A = O.E will be fair. (assets equal to capital).
However, the assets may be contributed by someone else who is not the owner. The debt of the enterprise for these assets is called liabilities. Therefore, now the equation will take the following form: A = L + O.E. (Assets equal equity plus liabilities). The left and right sides of the equation always coincide.
Assets= Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
The equality of both parts of the equation is always maintained. For deep understanding of accounting equation, following are important accounting equation questions:
