30000 Closing Stock 10000 Electricity Exp 5000 Profit 15000 Total 60000 Total 60000 Electriicty expenses of 5000 Profit Reduced by 5000 Expenses leads to Reduction in Profit Effect of Expenses on Balance Sheet If No Expenses BALANCE SHEET LIABILITIES Amount ASSETS Amount Capital 100000 Cash 80000 Profit 20000 Bank 40000 Total Capital 120000 Loan 10000 Stock 10000 Total 130000 Total 130000 Electricity Expenses of 5000 paid in Cash BALANCE SHEET LIABILITIES Amount ASSETS Amount Capital 100000 Cash 75000 Profit 15000 Bank 40000 Total Capital 115000 Stock 10000 Loan 10000 Total 125000 Total 125000 it leads to Reduction in Capital Also Cash /bank decreases,hence asset decreases Question 1 Business commenced with Rs 100000 cash Goods Purchased for Rs 60000 by cash Goods costing 50000 sold for 80000 Salary paid 10000 in cash Prepare Accounting Equation In this case,there are 4 transactions Transaction 1 Business commenced with Rs 100000 cash Effect Cash is an Asset which Increases by 100000 Capital also increases by 100000 So Accounting Equation appears as follows Assets = Liability + Capital Cash Business commenced with Rs 100000 cash 100000 0 100000 Transaction 2 Goods Purchased for Rs 60000 by cash Effect Stock is an Asset which Increases by 60000 Cash is an Asset which decreases by 60000 So Accounting Equation appears as follows Assets = Liability + Capital Cash Stock Old Balance 100000 = 0 + 100000 Goods Purchased for Rs 60000 by cash -60000 +60000 = + New Balance 40000 60000 = 0 + 100000 Transaction 3 Goods costing 50000 sold for 80000 Effect Stock is an Asset which Decreases by 50000 Cash is an Asset which increases by 80000 Profit earned 30000 will increase capital by 30000 So Accounting Equation appears as follows Assets = Liability + Capital Cash Stock Old Balance 40000 60000 = 0 + 100000 Goods costing 50000 sold for 80000 +80000 -50000 = + 30000 New Balance 120000 10000 = 0 + 130000 Transaction 4 Salary paid 10000 in cash Effect Cash is an Asset which decreases by 10000 Capital will also reduce by 10000 as it is an expense So Accounting Equation appears as follows Assets = Liability + Capital Cash Stock Old Balance 120000 10000 = 0 +

48000 Transaction 3 Wages Outstanding Rs 200 Effect Wages Outstanding is a liabilty which will increase by 200 Capital will reduce by 200 as it is an expense So Accounting Equation appears as follows Assets = Liability + Capital Cash O/S Exp Old Balance 48000 = 0 + 48000 Wages Outstanding Rs 200 = 200 + -200 New Balance 48000 = 200 + 47800 Transaction 4 Interest due but not yet paid Rs 100 Effect Interest Due is a liabilty which will increase by 100 Capital will reduce by 100 as it is an expense So Accounting Equation appears as follows Assets = Liability + Capital Cash O/S Exp Old Balance
