ASSETS
 are resources a business owns

 The businesses uses its assets in carrying out such

activities as production and sales.


 The capacity to provide future services and benefits

which eventually results in cash inflows. (receipts)

For Example:
Campus pizza owns a delivery truck that provides
economic benefit from delivering pizzas. Other assets
of Campus Pizzas are tables, chairs, jukebox, cash
register, oven, tableware and of course cash.
LIABILITIES
 are claims against assets – that is existing debts and

obligations.
 Businesses of all sizes usually borrow money and

purchase merchandise on credit. These economic


activities result in payables of various sorts.
For Example:
 Campus pizza, for instance purchase cheese, sausage,

flour, and beverages, on credit from suppliers. These


obligations are called accounts payable.
 Campus pizza also has a note payable to a bank for

the money borrowed to purchase the delivery truck.


 Campus Pizza may also have wages payable to

employees and sales and real estate taxes payable to


the local government.
OWNER’S EQUITY
 The ownership claim on total assets is owner’s

equity.
 It is equal to total assets minus total liabilities. Here

is why : The assets of a business are claimed by


either creditors or owners. To find out what belongs
to the owners, we subtract the creditors’ claims (the
liabilities from asset. The remainder is the owner’s
claim on the assets – the owner’s equity. Since the
claim of creditors must be paid before ownership
claims, owner’s equity is often referred to as residual
equity.
The Basic Accounting Equation
 Thethree account have the same relationship to
each other. We call this relationship the
Accounting Equation.

Owner’s
Asset Liabilities Equity

 The equation comes from the word equal. For


any equation , one side always equals another.
 The equation shows that assets or properties of

the business are owing to outsiders (Liabilities)


and to owner’s (proprietor)

Let us assume that on July 1, 2010
Orlando Reyes engaged in business
with a cash capital investment of
P100,000.00. On this date, the
accounting equation is:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity


Cash = Capital
P100,000.00 = 0 + P100,000.00
The accounting equation could also
apply to personal situation.
Suppose you buy a car for P5000,
borrow
P4, 000 from the bank, and pay
the rest yourself. Try to
illustrate the accounting equation.
Transactions:
1. Orlando deposited P750,000 in the bank in
the name of D & W Enterprise.
2. Orlando purchased land amounting to
P500,000, paid in cash.
3. Orlando Reyes purchased P20,000 supplies
paying in the near future.
4. Received P55,000 from services rendered.
5. Paid the following expenses: Salaries
P10,000; Rent P5,000; Utilities P4,000 and
miscellaneous Expense P2,000
Quiz
Using the given data accomplish the
accounting equation by applying
necessary operations:
Assets Liabilities Owner’ Equity

a. 760,000.00 360,000.00 ?

b. 860,000.00 ? 592,000.00
