...Accounting Equation ACC/300 October 6, 2014 Accounting Equation From the smallest sole proprietorship to the largest corporation, all transactions in a business setting will have an effect on a company’s monetary status. The monetary status of a business is defined by three things: liabilities, assets and owner’s equity. The liabilities are debts or obligations to other people and assets are property or funds owned by the company. The owner’s equity is the total assets of a company minus its total liabilities. The accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity shows the association between the three types of accounts in the accounting world. The accounting equation differs slightly between a corporation and a sole proprietorship. The reason is because a sole proprietorship owns all the equity while a corporation shares the equity with stockholders. Thus, the accounting equation for a one-owner business is: Assets = Liabilities + Equity. The accounting equation for a corporation would be the same except the last part of the equation which would read as stockholder’s equity. Examples of assets include cash, account receivables, and equipment (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Keiso, 2010). From the accounting equation, the amount of assets must equal the combined amount of liabilities plus the equity. Examples of liabilities include notes payable, accounts payable, and salaries payable (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Keiso, 2010). Examples of owner’s or stockholder’s...

...Accounting Equation Jarred Evans ACC/300 May 12, 14 Brandy Havens Abstract The purpose of this essay is to give a better understanding of the accounting equation, how the accounting equation relates to the components of the balance sheet, how the components of the accounting equation affect each other and how transactions affect the accounting equation. In business, the accounting equation is used to help us understand how assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity relate to each other along with measures the financial position of a company. The equation is set up as “Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity” for an unincorporated business and “Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder’s Equity” for larger corporations. Assets are the business owned resources, such as money, building, equipment, and inventory. For assets in the equation, it must equal the liabilities plus owner’s equity amount. Liabilities are what companies or small business owe and is considered their duty. “Liabilities can be viewed in two ways, as claims by creditors against the company's assets, and a source—along with owner or stockholder equity—of the company's assets.” Finally, the owner’s equity is what remains after you deduct the liabilities away from the assets. In any transaction, the expressions get altered in order to fit the equation and make the numbers equal properly. “A balance sheet is a financial statement that reports the assets and claims to those assets at a specific point in time” (Kimmel...

...Accounting Equation Essay ACC/300 Lucinda Degarmo November 30, 2015 Professor Brandy Havens The accounting equation is a simple formula used to measure a company’s financial position. There are three elements that make up an accounting equation; Assets, Liabilities, Equity. There are two types of accounting equations, one for a sole proprietorship and one for a corporation. The accounting equation used for the sole proprietorship is as follows: Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity. The accounting equation used for a corporation is: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder’s Equity. Assets are considered to be the company’s resources, basically the things a company owns. These are things such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid insurance, investments, equipment, land, buildings. The accounting equation tells us that the amount of Assets must be equal to the company’s liabilities plus owner’s or stockholder’s equity. Liabilities are considered to be the obligations that the company owes. Liabilities would be considered things like accounts payable, salaries, loans payable, income taxes payable, interest payable. There are two ways to view liabilities the first view is as a claim by creditors against the company’s assets, or a source along with the equity of the company’s assets.

...Accounting Equation Paper ACC 300 University of Phoenix Accounting Equation Paper No matter how big or small a company is, the business will have some sort of financial transaction coming in or out that will affect the company’s financial standing. In any company, the accountant or accounting department plays a crucial role in ensuring the company succeeds. The main role of accounting is to analyze records and keep track of all financial transactions. The resources that make up a company’s assets, as well as the accounting equation, are liabilities and owner’s equity. At first, owner’s equity is affected by capitals such as issuing stocks. Once the business is up and running, income as well as expenses will be added to the balance sheets. Assets include everything the company owns, from the building to the package of paperclips. Liabilities are debts the company has, to other businesses or individuals. These debtors could include vendors, employees, or financial institutions that loaned money. Equity is also referred to as capital and consists of assets and any debts owed to the business from outside sources. In order to understand the accounting equation, the accounting department as well as leadership must understand how these relate to one another. The accounting equation is as follows: Assets = Liabilities + Owners/Stockholders Equity. Examples of assets include cash, account receivable, and equipment (Kimmel, 2011). The way that this accounting equation...

...Accounting Equation Franklin Weatherspoon ACC/300 OCTOBER 26, 2013 Dr. M Moczynski, CPA, CGFM Accounting Equation In the business world an individual cannot understand a balance sheet, income statement nor transaction recordings within a general ledger, until he or she understands the basic accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity (Barclay, 2013). Following is a discussion on the relationship of accounting equation and the components of a balance sheet; along with examples showing the affect of each (University of Phoenix, 2013). Relation in Components The accounting formula is the way double-entry bookkeeping is formulated. The accounting formula, which is known as the balance sheet equation, signifies the connection between the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity of a small company (Peeler, 2013). The accounting formula basically expresses a company’s assets, which is obtained either by liabilities or by the company’s capital. The equation has to balance since the company’s entirety, which is known as assets are brought with something like liability or the company’s capital (Peeler, 2013). The effect of one another The company’s equity is affected by capital, functioning as stock. The company has income, which is revenue minus expenses, and gains minus loses, and sometimes extra capital and withdrawals are known as dividends. When the closing of the month approaches, each item will have an effect...

...The Accounting Equation Sevara Smith ACC/300 February 11, 2013 Rena Ballot The Accounting Equation The basic accounting equation is, assets are equal to liabilities plus stockholders equity. The assets in the equation are the resources owned by a company such as cash, inventory, fixed assets, and accounts receivable. The liabilities are the debits and obligations of the business, the amounts owed to creditors. The stockholders’ equity is the claim the owners have to assets. The stockholders’ equity is subdivided with two parts, common stock and retained earnings. The common stock is the money paid for shares by the stockholders. The retained earnings are the amount the company retained in net income. With the accounting equation every transaction should have a twofold or dual effect to the extent of the same amount. In other words, assets must balance with the claims to assets. For example, if an asset is increased, a decrease has to occur in another asset or an increase in a liability or stockholders ‘equity. This dual process is revealed on the balance sheet. The balance sheet gives a picture of a company’s finances at a point in time. It gives a summary of the assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity. The balance sheet represents the accounting equation for a company. It displays the assets and claims to assets at a given period of time. The claims of assets are divided into two groups they are claims of creditors (liabilities) and claims of owners...

...Accounting Equation William Allen Thompson ACC/300 October 16, 2013 Maureen Leary Accounting Equation The fundamental meaning of Accounting Equation is Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity (Kimmel, Weygandi, & Kieso, 2011) A balance sheet uses sole proprietorship for the same steps. When Corporation looking for the proper balance sheet it would not use a Owner’s equity. The equation shows businesses shareholders by displaying assets through financing of paying or borrowed money. To work though the steps accounting equation uses Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders Equity (Kimmel, Weygandi, & Kieso, 2011) The Assets are the company resources- something that a company owns.

...Accounting Equation Paper Shannon Straight ACC/300 April 20, 2015 Kimberly McMillon Accounting Equation Paper “One type of accounting report is a balance sheet, which is based on the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ Equity. The balance sheet — also called a statement of financial condition — is a “Where do we stand at the end of the period?” type of report. The header of a balance sheet lists the date that it was prepared (The Essentials of Accounting Basics).” The equation should always remain in balance for every accounting transaction. If there is an increased in an asset account, there has to be a corresponding decrease in another assets account or a corresponding increase in a liability or equity account. To make a balance sheet, we should list the assets and come up with a number. Then we need to list the liabilities and equity and come up with a number. If two numbers are equal, then our balance sheet will balance. It is the balance of one’s assets to the liabilities. Owners’ equity contains the owners capital accounts and retained earnings, and is increased by revenues, owners investments, and issuance of stock. It is decreased by expenses, drawings, dividends and treasury stock. If I have invested cash in a business, we increase assets and increase the owners, equity, we then invested cash and increase assets; the person who invested the cash increases owners’ equity. If I pay for the utilities used in the business, I should decrease assets...

...Accounting Equation Paper Keegan Mueller ACC 300 University of Phoenix 2/9/2015 Brian Lichau The Accounting Equation The accounting equation consists of three different entities within an organization; assets, liabilities, and stockholders’/owner’s equity. With these three principles, a company can measure their financial position. The main purpose behind the accounting equation is to figure out what assets the company has. In doing so, they must take into account the liabilities and owner/stockholder equity. The equation is simple: Assets = Liabilities + Owner/Stockholder Equity. The equation is able to illustrate what the company owns versus what it owes. The difference will either be a positive or negative based on how much money the company is making. Broken down, the assets are the company’s resources (what the company owns), liabilities are a company’s obligations (what the company owes), and owner/stockholder equity illustrates the amount of money invested in the company by the owners along with the net income that has not been paid out through dividends yet. The balance sheet is what reports the company’s assets, liabilities, and owner/stockholder equity at any given time. Entries are made on the balance sheet that correlates with each category of the assets, liabilities, equity. Debits and credits are made based on whether money is coming in or going out; debits on the left and credits on the right. The balance sheet should show that the total amount...
