Asset=capital + Liabilities
o If two of these things are given and one is not given, we can find it using this equation.
This is called accounting equation and it is base of all accounting.
E.g. if a business has assets of Rs100. Out of which assets of Rs 60 are of owner and of Rs 40 are
of bank. If business closes today, bank will take 40 and business owner will take 60.
As we are doing accounting of business, so we always have to think from
the business perspective.
When expense increases, capital decreases (and cash decreases) and when
income increases capital increases (and cash increases).
o E.g. Owner bought goods costing 500 on credit and sale them in 700. Now out of
this 700, 200 are of owner. So, with profit capital of owner increases by 200 and
due to expenses he got 200 instead of 700. So, expenses decreased the capital of
the owner.
o Revenue and sale are not profit.
So,
sales−Expense=Profit
We can say that profit is income less expense.
Revenue is recorded when it is earned, not when cash is received.
o In cash base of accounting we record revenue when we receive its cash. What
we are reading is not cash base accounting. So for us this concept is wrong.
o So, we will record revenue when we have delivered goods (if we are selling
goods) Or we have rendered services, no matter cash is received or not.
When we have done our duty, we have a right to receive cash.
Now, this cash may receive or not receive, revenue will be recorded.
E.g. A teacher has taught students for a month and now he has a right to
receive cash no matter when they give him.
So, income will be recorded for the month he has delivered
services. Then, if he did not receive cash it will be recorded as
debtor.
