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 effect 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 consists generally Creditors and lenders) or the Owners (which is called Capital).
According to Business entity concept, Business is separate legal entity from its owner thus the amount invested by the owner in the business is liability of the business is called Captial. Accounting equation thus referred to a equation in which total assets is always equal to total Liabilities (i.e. Capital + Liabilities)
Assets = Capital + Liabilities
ANALYSIS OF BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
Business transaction may affect either both sides of the equation or one side of the equation but the ultimate effect must be equal on the both sides. All the effects are as follows:-
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 in Capital (anything which is bring in by the owner is termed as Capital) & Business is receiving asset in the form of cash, it is to be shown in the Assets side as Cash.
B. Bought goods from Ram Rs. 30,000
Effect
Assets | = | Capital + Liabilities | ||
Cash Goods | Capital Creditors | |||
Old Equation | 3,00,000 + – | = | 3,00,000 + – | |
Transactions | 0 + 30,000 | = | 0 + 30,000 | |
N.E. | 3,00,000 + 30,000 | = | 3,00,000 + 30,000 |
Explanation:- As goods is purchased on credit, one effect is that it should be shown in the assets side as Goods & other effect is that goods are purchased on credit so it is to be shown in Liabilities as Creditors..

Transaction Other than Cash & Bank | Credit Sale Credit Purchases Sales Returns/ Returns Inward Purchases Returns /Returns outward Any other transaction | Sales Book Purchases Book Sales returns Book Purchases Returns Book Journal Proper |
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 transaction related to cash receipt and payments. Cash book serves two purpose. 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 balanced of cash is shown in Dr. side of the Cash book as “To Balance b/d”
· Only transaction 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
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.
