capital usually a business transaction
affects both the sides of the accounting

changes either on the asset side or in
the liabilities and owner's equity only
but the sum total of both the sides
remains equal now let us consider an
example for chased furniture for rupees
25 thousand in cash purchasing furniture
for cash will reduce the amount of cash
by rupees 25000 and increase the balance
of furniture by rupees 25 thousand which
ultimately leads to no change in the
amount of assets and there will be no
change in the
census of liabilities and almost equity
as well at the end the total or summary
of all transactions indicates that every
transaction has a double effect and in
each case the sum total of assets is
equal to the total of liabilities and
owner's equity
