Accounting For Business Transactions
This transaction did not change the total assets but it did change the composition
of the assets—it decrease one asset—cash and increased another asset—computer
equipment by P145,000. note that the sums of the balances on both sides of the
equation are equal. This equality must always exist.
Mar. 9 Computer supplies in the amount of P25,000 are purchased on account.
The entity earned service income by designing web sites for clients. Del Mundo
rendered his professional services and collected revenues in cash. The effect on the
accounting equation is the increase in the asset—cash and an increase in owner’s
equity. Income increases owner’s equity. This transaction caused the business to grow,
as shown by the increase in total assets from P375,000 to P463,000.
Mar. 16 Del Mundo paid P18,000 to Ceradoy Bills Express, a one-stop bills
payment service company, for the semi-monthly utilities.
Expenses are recorded when they are incurred. Expenses can be paid in cash when
they occur, or they can paid later. The payment for utilities is an expanse for the month
of March. It represented an outflow of resources and a reduction of owner’s equity.
Expenses have the opposite effect of income; they cause the business to shrink as
shown by the smaller amount of total asset of P445,000.
Mar. 17 The entity has service agreements with several Entpreneurs to maintain
and update their web sites weekly. Del Mundo billed these clients
P35,000 fro services already rendered during the month.

Last Mar. 17, Del Mundo billed clients for services already rendered. On Mar. 20, the
entity was able to collect P25,000 from them. The asset—cash is increased by
P25,000. the business should not record service income on Mar. 20 since it has
already recorded the income last Mar. 17. Total assets are unchanged. The business
merely reduced one asset—accounts receivable and increase another—cash.
Mar. 21 Del Mundo withdrew P20,000 from the business for his personal use.
A = L + OE
Withdrawal of cash or another assets for personal use is the way by which the
owner of the entity receives advance distribution of the profits. On Mar. 1, Del
Mundo invested P350,000; both cash and owner’s equity increased. The transaction
was an investment by the owner and not an income-generating activity. Del Mundo
simply transferred funds from his personal account to the business. A cash
withdrawal is exactly the opposite. The P20,000 cash withdrawal transaction
resulted to a reduction in both cash and owner’s equity.
Mar. 27 Warlito Blanche Publishing submitted a bill to Del Mundo for P8,000
worth of news paper advertisements for this month . Del Mundo will pay
this bill next month.
A = L + OE
Warlito Blanche rendered services on account. Del Mundo Graphics Design has
incurred an expense in the amount of P8,000 by availing of Warlito Blanche’s
services. There was no payment during the month. This advertising expense resulted
to a decrease in owner’s equity and an increase in the liability—accounts payable.
Mar. 31 Del Mundo paid his assistant designer salaries of P15,000 for the month.
