If the parchase is on credit, liabilities are Neeted. Briefly we can say that the occurrence of an event or of condition that must be recorded is called business transaction, Business operations consist of a series of transactions. One of the purpose of Accounting is to record the stream of transactions so that their affect can be correctly and clearly reflected in the Accounting reports operation ean be easily measured. tions will fall into the following basic groups:~ upon assets and equities and the results of the business Most of the business trans 1) Investment of the capital by the owners, 2) Purchase of goods, assets and services. 3) Sale of goods or services to customers either for cash or on credit, 4) Collection of receivable from customers or other 5) Payment of liabilities incurred on the purchase of goods and services. 6) Borrowing of funds from financial institutions and others 7) Withdrawal of assets and goods by owners. 8) Repayment of borrowed funds ACCOUNTING EQUATION Accounting equation may be defined as "a device by which the fingneial position of a business can be checked at a glance", Balance Sheet also serve the same purposes as the Accounting equation is, Due to this reason we say that when the Balance Sheet equality is expressed in equation form, the resulting equation is called the Balance Sheet equation or Accounting equation which is expressed as under: . As: s = Equities (Liabilities + Owner's equity or Capital) OR = Liabilities + Owner's equity or Capital Assets EFFECTS OF BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS ON ACCOUNTING EQUATION oss transaction affects the element of Accounting equation, because when any asset is purchased, the owner not only acquires the properties but also ' I These rights in assets are equal to the value of that equities will be divided into owner's are called the liabilities and owner Each and every busi rights associated to that property. inst the a The outside equ asset. In this way the right equity and outside equitic equities are called as It means that every business ha way that following situations may arise: ts the element of Accounting s transaction equation in su ase or decrease in owner's equity or Capital. above three situations the assets and liabilities would be effected directly while the owner’s equity would increase by increasing the revenue and decrease by increasing the expenses or losses. The effect is shown below by the use of (+) = or (-) placed against the element affected. To illustrate this concept, the following business transactions are assumed. Transaction 1. . Mr. Saleem started his business by investing therein cash Rs. 4,00,000, The effect of this transaction will be that the cash will increase by Rs. 4,00,000 and owner's equity or capital will also increase by the similar amount. The equation will appear as follows:- Asset = Equities Cash iabiliti Liabil + it + Rs. 4,00,000 = i ; a Reo 000, Transaction 2, Purchased Merchandise 2 ; _ curehased Pere and paid cash Rs. 1,00,000. The effect of this transaction nts of the Accounting equation is that the asset cash decreased by Rs. Assets : — Cash + ie Equity. 4,00,000 Merchandise =~ Liabilities + Capital - — 1,00,000 + — Tooe00 a + 4,00,000 3,00,000 + _1,00,000 = +--+ 4,00,000 ions and Accounting Equation 35 Transaction 3, Mr. Saleem purchased building for cash Rs. 100,000. This transaction affected the Accounting equation as the increase in one asset building and decrease in another asset cash with the same amount. Assets = Equity Cash + Merchandise + ~~ Building = Liabilities + Capital 3,00,000 1,00,000 + 4,00,000 =_ 100.000 + + 1,00,000 2,00,000 + 1,00,000 + 1,00,000 = + 4,00,000 Transaction 4. Merchandise worth Rs. 50,000 was sold for cash Rs. 60,000. The cost of the merchandise sold was Rs. 50,000 and it was sold for Rs. 60,000. There is a profit of Rs. 10,000. Profit belongs to the proprietor; therefore, proprietorship i.e. the capital will increase by Rs. 10,000. The effect of this transaction is therefore; a decrease in merchandise to the extent of cost Rs. 50,000 an increase of Rs. 60,000 in cash asset and increases in capital Rs, 10,000. Thus:— Assets = Equity Cash + Merchandise + Building = Liabilities + Capital 2,00,000 1,00,000 + — 1,00,000 + 4,00,000 + 60,000 ~ 50,000 + 10,000 2,60,000 + 50,000 + 1,00,000= + 4,10,000 Transaction 5. Mr. Saleem purchased Merchandise from Nazir for-Rs. 20,000 on credit. The effect of this transaction on Accounting equation is that the asset merchandise will increase by Rs. 20,000 and liability is also increased by the same amount. This transaction brings about a change on both sides of the equation. Assets. = Equity Cash + Merchandise + Building = A/C payable + Capital 2,60,000 50,000 + — 1,00,000 vn - 4,10,000 + 20,000 + 20,000 2,60,000 + 70,000 + 1,00,000 = 20,000 +4,10,000 Transaction 6. Mr. Saleem paid Rs. 10,000 to Nazir on Account. This transaction will decrease cash Rs. 10,000 and Accounts payable will also decrease by the same amount. The new equation will be as under: Assets = Equity Cash + — Merchandise + Building = A/C payable + — Capital 2,60,000 70,000 + 100,000 20,000 + -4.10,000 - 10,000 + . —10,000 : 2,50,000- + 70,000 + 1,00,000= 10,000 + 4,10,000 36 runud Transaction 7.
