Accounting Equation
An Accounting equation is based on the dual concept of accounting, according to which,
every transaction has two aspects namely Debit and Credit. It means that every transaction
in accounting affects both Debit (Dr.) and Credit (Cr.) side equally.
Total assets of the business firm are financed through the funds raised from either the
outsiders (which generally consist of Creditors and lenders) or the Owners (which is called
Capital).
According to Business entity concept, Business is a legal entity separate from its owners and
thus the amount invested by the owner in the business (called Captial) is a liability for the
business. Accounting equation thus refers to an equation in which total assets are always
equal to the total Liabilities (i.e. Capital + Liabilities)
Assets = Capital + Liabilities

Analysis of Business Transactions


Business transactions may affect either both sides of the equation or one side of the equation
but the ultimate effect must be equal on both the sides. All the effects are as follows:-

Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 1 / 29


1. Transaction affecting both sides of the equation:
A. Commenced business with cash Rs 3,00,000

Assets = Capital+Liabilities

Cash Capital

Transactions 3,00,000 = 3,00,000

Explanation:- As Cash is invested by the owner, it should be shown as the Capital (anything
which is brought in by the owner is termed as Capital) & the business is receiving an asset in
the form of cash, so it is to be shown on the Assets side as Cash.

B. Bought goods from Ram Rs. 30,000

Assets = Capital+Liabilities

Cash+Goods Capital+Creditors

Old Equation 3,00,000 = 3,00,000

Transactions +30,000 = 0 +30,000

N.E. 3,00,000+30,000 = 3,00,000+30,000

Explanation:- As goods have been purchased on credit, one effect is that it should be shown
on the assets side as goods & the other effect is that since goods have been purchased on
credit, so it is to be shown in Liabilities as Creditors..

C. Sold goods (costing Rs. 10000) for cash at Rs. 13000 Effect

Assets = Capital+Liabilities

Cash+Goods Capital+Creditors

Old Equation 3,00,000+30,000 = 3,00,000+30,000

Transactions +13000-10,000 = +3000 +0

N.E. 3,13,000+20,000 = 3,03,000+30,000

Explanation:- The transaction will affect both the sides. As cash has been received, so Rs
13,000 is to be added to cash & Goods are to be reduced by Rs 10,000 as goods have been sold.

Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 2 / 29


Also profit of Rs. 3,000 is to be added to Capital. Net effect will remain same for both sides

D. Paid to creditors Rs. 20,000

Assets = Capital+Liabilities

Cash+Goods Capital+Creditors

Old Equation 3,13,000+20,000 = 3,03,000+30,000

Transactions -20000 +0 = +0 -20,000

N.E. 2,93,000+20,000 = 3,03,000+10,000

Explanation:- The transaction will affect both the sides. As cash has been paid, so it is to be
deducted from cash and also from the creditors as the payment has been made to them.

Transaction related to Expenses


All the expenses and Losses are to be borne by the owner. Although business is a legal entity
separate from its owners but He/She is the person who has taken the risk to do business.

E. Rent paid Rs. 5,000.

Assets = Capital+Liabilities

Cash+Goods Capital+Creditors

Old Equation 2,93,000+20,000 = 3,03,000+10,000

Transactions -5,000 +0 = -5000 +0

N.E. 2,88,000+20,000 = 2,98,000+10,000

Explanation:- The transaction will affect both the sides. As cash has been paid, so it is to be
reduced and also the capital is to be reduced because the expense is to be borne by the
owner.

Transaction related to Income


Income or Profit is the reward for taking risk. As the risk is taken by the owner, so the
income or profit is to be added to the Capital.

F. Commission received Rs. 8,000.

Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 3 / 29


Assets = Capital + Liabilities

Cash + Goods Capital + Creditors

Old Equation 2,88,000 + 20,000 = 2,98,000 + 10,000

Transactions + 8,000 + 0 = + 8000 + 0

N.E. 2,96,000 + 20,000 = 3,06,000 + 10,000

Explanation:- The transaction will affect both the sides. As cash has been received, so it is to
be added to cash and also to the capital because it is an income.

Transaction related to Accrued Income/Income due but not received.


Income is to be added to the capital but as it has not been received, it should be shown on the
Assets Side as accrued Income because it is meant to be received in the current financial
year.

A. Accrued Interest Rs. 10,000

Assets = Capital+Liabilities

Cash+Goods+Accured Capital+Creditors

Income

Old Equation 2,88,000+20,000 = 3,06,000 + 10,000

Transactions +8,000+0 +10,000 = +10,000+0

N.E. 2,96,000+20,000+10,000 = 3,16,000+10,000

Explanation:- The transaction will affect both the sides as the Accrued Income is to be added
to the capital but as it has not been received, it is to be shown on the assets side.

Transaction related to Income received in Advance


As the Income has been received in advance, it does not belong to the current financial year
and thus it cannot be added to the Capital. It as an amount which has been received by the
business firm for an activity to be performed in the future. Till the time that activity is not
performed, it is a liability for the business.

Assets = Capital+Liabilities

Cash+Goods+Accured Capital+Creditors+Advance

Income Rent

Old Equation 2,96,000+20,000+10,000 = 3,16,000+10,000

Transactions +5,000+0+0 = +0+0+5,000

N.E. 3,01,000+20,000+10,000 = 3,16,000+10,000+5,000

Explanation:-The transaction will affect both the sides as the advance Income is a Liability
and should be shown on the Liabilities side. The Cash received by the business should be
added to the Cash column on the assets side.

2. Transaction affecting one side of the equation:

(I) Transaction affecting Assets side of the equation:


Transaction related to Prepaid expenses or expenses paid in advance.
As the expense has been paid in advance, it does not belong to the current financial year and
thus it can not be deducted from the Capital. It as an amount which has been paid by the
business firm for a service/benefit to be availed/received in the future. Till the time that
service/benefit is not availed/received, it is an Asset for the business.

A. Prepaid insurance Rs. 4,000

Assets = Capital+Liabilities

Cash+Goods+Accured+Prepaid Capital+Creditors+Advance

Income Insurance Rent

Old Equation 3,01,000+20,000+10,000 = 3,16,000+10,000+5,000

Transactions -4,000+0+0+4,000 = +0+0+0

N.E. 2,97,000+20,000+10,000+4,000 = 3,16,000+10,000+5,000

Explanation:- The transaction will affect only one side as the prepaid expense is an Asset

Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 5 / 29


and should be shown on the Assets side & the Cash paid by the business should be deducted
from the Cash column on the assets side.

B. Purchased Machinery for Cash Rs. 80,000

Assets = Capital+Liabilities

Cash+Goods+Accured+Prepaid+Machinery Capital+Creditors+Advance

Income Insurance Rent

Old Equation 2,97,000+20,000+10,000+4,000 = 3,16,000+10,000+5,000

Transactions -80,000+0+0+0+80,000 = +0+0+0

N.E. 2,17,000+20,000+10,000+4,000+80,000 = 3,16,000+10,000+5,000

Explanation:- The transaction will affect only one side as cash has been paid for the
machinery which is a fixed asset, so it is shown separately on the assets side and also the
cash has been reduced.

(II) Transaction affecting Liability side of the equation:


Transaction related to outstanding Expense or expense due but not paid
The expense has not been paid yet but it relates to the current financial year, so it is
deducted from the capital & since the business will have to pay it in the future, it is a liability
for the firm.

A. Salary outstanding Rs. 8,000

Assets = Capital+Liabilities

Cash+Goods+Accured Capital+Creditors

+Prepaid+Machinery +Advance+Outstanding

Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 6 / 29


Explanation:- The transaction will affect only one side. Outstanding expense is a Liability
and should be shown on the Liabilites side & the expense should be deducted from the
capital because it relates to the current financial year.

Transaction related to Interest on Capital


As interest on capital is an expense for the business, it should be deducted from the capital.
Also, interest on capital is the amount which is to be paid to the owner as the capital has
been invested by him, therefore it is to be added back to the capital.

A. Interest on Capital Rs. 10,000

Assets = Capital+Liabilities

Cash+Goods+Accured Capital+Creditors

+Prepaid+Machinery +Advance+Outstanding

Explanation:- The transaction will affect only one side. The Interest on Capital should be
added to as well as deducted from the capital resulting in no impact on the previous
accounting equation.

Transaction related to interest on drawings


As interest on drawings is an income for the business, it should be added to the capital. Also
the interest on drawings is the amount which is to be paid by the owner to the business, so it
is treated as drawings and deducted from the capital.

Advantages of Maintaining Subsidiary Books

Division of work
Leads to Specialization
Easy to maintain Ledger
Check on frauds
Easy to fix responsibility
Quick availability of required information.

Cash Book
Cash book shows all the transactions related to cash receipts and payments. Cash book serves
two purposes. First, all the cash transactions are recorded first time in cash book it becomes
Book of original entry. Second, there is no need to prepare Cash a/c in ledger it also play the
role of Principal Book.

Simple Cash Book


All the cash receipts are shown in left hand side i.e. Debit side and all the cash payments are
shown in right hand side i.e. Credit Side.

Points to Remember

Cash in hand/opening balance of cash is shown in Dr. side of the Cash book as “To
Balance b/d”
Only transactions of cash receipts and payments are recorded in this book.
This book never shows a credit balance because one can’t pay more than the cash one
have.

Notes: One can draw the following conclusions:

1. In a Simple Cash Book only cash receipts and cash payments are recorded. Credit
transactions are not recorded. Purchases from Mohan of Rs. 5,000 on 15th Jan is a credit
purchase hence, is not recorded in the Cash Book.
2. The debit side is always bigger than the credit side since the payments can never exceed
the available cash. This is true even for daily balances.
3. It is like an ordinary account.

Cash Book With Discount Column

Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 18 / 29


Where cash discounts are allowed and received respectively, additional columns are
provided on the debit side for discount allowed and on the credit side for discount received.
The discount columns in the cash book are not parts of the cash book but are memoranda
(provisional) columns because discount account is a nominal account while cash account is a
real account. On balancing the cash book, the discount columns are singly totaled but not
balanced.

Cash Book with Discount and Bank Column

In this case the Cash Book is ruled with there amount columns on either side of the cash book
namely, “Discount, cash and Bank”. Cash columns in such a case will record actual cash
received in the debit side and payments in the credit side. Cheques received should be
entered on the debit side of the bank column when it deposited in the bank. The payments by
cheques should be entered on the credit side in bank column and also when cash is
withdrawn from the bank.

intra-state supply of goods or services or both. It is the portion of tax on intra state supply

While there will be certain initial transition challenges, GST will bring in much clarity in
many areas of business. One of the areas is accounting and bookkeeping. Read on to find out
about accounting entries under GST.

Current scenario: Separate accounts have to be maintained for excise, VAT, CST and service
tax. Here’s a list of the few accounts currently any business has to maintain (apart from
accounts like purchase, sales, stock) –

Excise payable a/c (for manufacturers)


CENVAT credit a/c (for manufacturers)
Output VAT a/c
Input VAT a/c
Input Service tax a/c
Output Service tax a/c

For example, a trader Mr. X must maintain the minimum basic accounts –

Output VAT a/c


Input VAT a/c
CST A/c (for inter-state sales and purchases)
Service tax a/c [He will not be able to claim any service tax input credit as he is a
trader with output VAT. Service tax cannot be setoff against VAT/ CST]

Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 23 / 29


GST Regime
Under GST all these taxes (excise, VAT, service tax) will get subsumed into one account.
The same trader X has to then maintain the following a/cs (apart from accounts like
purchase, sales, stock) –

Input CGST a/c


Output CGST a/c
Input SGST a/c
Output SGST a/c
Input IGST a/c
Output IGST a/c
Electronic Cash Ledger (to be maintained on Government GST portal to pay GST)

For a list of accounts to be maintained please read here. While the number of accounts is
more apparently, once you go through the accounting you will find it is much easier for
record keeping. One of the biggest advantages X will have is that he can setoff his input tax
on service with his output tax on sale.

Accounting entries under GST


Let us consider a few basic business transactions (all amount excluding GST)-

Example 1: Intra-state

1. Mr. X purchased goods Rs. 1,00,000 locally (intrastate)


2. He sold them for Rs. 1,50,000 in the same state
3. He paid legal consultation fees Rs. 5,000
4. He purchased furniture for his office for Rs. 12,000

Assuming CGST @8% and SGST@8%

The entries will be-

Purchase A/c ………………Dr. 1,00,000

Total Input CGST=8,000+400+960= Rs. 9,360


Total Input SGST=8,000+400+960= Rs. 9,360
Total output CGST=12,000
Total output SGST=12,000
Therefore Net CGST payable=12,000-9,360=2,640
Net SGST payable=12,000-9,360=2,640

Output CGST A/c ……………Dr. 12,000

Output SGST A/c ……………Dr. 12,000

5 To Input CGST A/c 9,360

To Input SGST A/c 9,360

To Electronic Cash Ledger A/c 5,280

Thus due to input tax credit, tax liability of Rs. 24,000 is reduced to only Rs.5,280. Also, GST
on legal fees is also adjusted which was not possible in current tax regime.

If there had been any input tax credit left it would have been carried forward to the next
year.

Example 2: Inter-state

1. Mr. X purchased goods Rs. 1,50,000 from outside the State


2. He sold Rs. 1,50,000 locally
3. He sold Rs.1,00,000 outside the state
4. He paid telephone bill Rs. 5,000
5. He purchased an air cooler for his office for Rs. 12,000 (locally)

Any IGST credit will first be applied to set off IGST and then CGST. Balance if any will be
applied to setoff SGST.
So out of total input IGST of Rs. 24,000, firstly it will be completely setoff against IGST. Then
balance Rs.8,000 against CGST.
From the total Rs.40,000, only Rs. 13,280 is payable.

Reduction in raw material cost and other expenses
GST will mean seamless input credits for intrastate and interstate purchases of goods. This
will mean reduction in cost of raw materials as input GST can be setoff against the output
GST payable on sales. Also GST paid on many services like legal consultation, audit fees,
engineering consultation etc. can be setoff against output GST. Currently input credit of
service tax paid cannot be adjusted against output excise/VAT.
All this will effectively bring down the expenses.
***Impact on sales may vary depending on the industry and the GST rates.

Balance Sheet

Capital XXX Fixed assets XXX [Decrease]

Current liabilities XXX Current assets XXX

Tax payable XXX Credit receivable XXX

Effective cost of fixed assets will come down as input credit will be available on both capital
goods and services related to such goods like installation, inspection etc.
Tax payable and credit receivable will face changes too. There will be only three accounts
under each of them- SGST, CGST, IGST instead of maintaining current excise payable,
CENVAT credit, VAT payable, VAT credit, Service tax accounts.

Accounting principles
GAAP is applicable mandatorily on GST. So, all principles following revenue recognition etc.
will be applicable.
Period of retention of accounts Every registered taxable person must keep and maintain
books of account for five years from the due date of filing of Annual Return for the relevant
year.
Transition to GST will need to address various aspects of financial reporting systems for
proper reporting. It is important that businesses plan to address changes arising out GST
implementation in the best manner to reduce cost of transition and minimize business
disruption
