The accounting equation=assets=capital+liabilities

Assets are items belonging to the business and used


in starting the running the business…
Liabilities are sums of money owed by the business
to outsiders e.g bank overdraft or loan
Tax to government authorities
Credit purchases as well

The business is a separate entity from its owner this


just says that
A business can owe money to its owners as they
different persons
The assets and liabities of the business are separate
from the owner

Fundamental accounting rule is assets and iabilities


should always be equal…..

capital she has contributed into the business
Capital is the investment of money with the
intenstion of earning a return capital is a liability to
a business then.

business it belongs to neelim sultun exactly
Also as long as the business does not pay anything
to the owner the retained profit became part of the
owners capital
