The Accounting Equation:the balance sheet equation

Image
The Accounting Equation:the balance sheet equation The Value of the business is the value of its assets less the value of its liabilities and this value belongs to the owners of the business: The Owners fund must also equal the amount the owners have put into the business (Capital) less any amounts they have taken out (Drawings) plus any profit. For the time being we assume the business is profitable. We add   to both sides to remove the minus signs.  We call items on the left hand side Debits and items on the right hand side Credits. Then: In order that this equation holds we must also ensure that a loss is on the opposite side to a profit and therefore a loss is a debit. Note that items of income increase profit so they are also credits, while expenses decrease profit and are therefore debits. When to Debit, when to Credit? [ edit ] The Value of the business is the value of its assets less the value of its liabilities and this value...

Accounting Operations: Credit & Debit(GOLDEN RULE OF DOUBLE ACCOUNTING)

Accounting Operations: Credit & Debit(GOLDEN RULE OF DOUBLE ACCOUNTING)  Accounting has indeed two and two only operations: Credit & Debit. Traditionally we always say "Debit & Credit" and we always put "Debits" to the "left" (of a page) and "Credits" to the "right" (of a page). But causally speaking, the act which the operation "Credit" captures comes first: because Credit shows the source of the Capital, while Debit shows to what the capital has been transformed before. That's why "A Debit must always equal the corresponding Credit". Suppose now that the company's Board of Directors, after receiving the cash from the shareholders, decides to spend it in order to buy new productive equipment, striking a deal with a supplier to pay him or her after 60 days from purchasing the equipment. In order to reflect this transaction we need to record two different Accounting Entries. A) The purcha...

Budget 2016-2017

Budget 2016-2017 Speech of Arun Jaitley Minister of Finance February 29, 2016 Madam Speaker, I rise to present the Budget for the year 2016-17. 2. I am presenting this Budget when the global economy is in serious crisis. Global growth has slowed down from 3.4% in 2014 to 3.1% in 2015. Financial markets have been battered and global trade has contracted. Amidst all these global headwinds, the Indian economy has held its ground firmly. Thanks to our inherent strengths and the policies of this Government, a lot of confidence and hope continues to be built around India. 3. The International Monetary Fund has hailed India as a ‘bright spot’ amidst a slowing global economy. The World Economic Forum has said that India’s growth is ‘extraordinarily high’. We accomplished this despite very unfavourable conditions and despite the fact that we inherited an economy of low growth, high inflation and zero investor confidence in Government’s capability to govern. We converted these difficulties and...
