Q1: If total assets of a business are Rs 2,60,000 and capital is Rs 1,60,000 calculate the outside liabilities.
Ans: Total Assets = Capital + Outside Liabilities
2,60,000 = 1,60,000 + Outside Liabilities
2,60,000 – 1,60,000 = Outside Liabilities
Outside Liabilities = 1,00,000

Q2: If total assets of a business are Rs 2,60,000 and net worth is Rs 1,60,000. Calculate the creditors.
Ans: Total Assets = Net worth – Creditors
Creditors = Total Assets – Net worth
Creditors = 2,60,000 – 1,60,000
Creditors = Rs. 1,00,000

Q3: Do you think that a transaction can break the accounting equation?
Ans: No, any transaction can only change the equation but can’t break it. The Accounting equation remains equal.

Q4: State when is a capital account debited.
Ans: A capital account is debited when there is a loss and when the owner makes drawings.

Q5: When proprietor withdraws cash for his/her personal use what will be the effect on capital?
Ans: Decrease in capital. A drawing account is an accounting record maintained to track money withdrawn from a business by its owners.

Q6: When an account is said to have a debit balance and credit balance?
Ans: The difference between the sum of the two sides of an account is called the balance. This is the most important part of an account as it shows value or position of asset, liability, capital, income or expenses of which the account is a record. If the total of the debit side exceeds the total of credit side then this would be represented by a debit balance and opposite is true for a credit balance.

Q7: Why is the evidence provided by source documents important to accounting?
Ans: A source document is the original document that contains the details of a business transaction. A source document captures the key information about a transaction, such as the names of the parties involved, amounts paid (if any), the date, and the substance of the transaction. Source documents are frequently identified with a unique number, so that they can be differentiated in the accounting system. The pre-numbering of documents is particularly useful, since it allows a company to investigate whether any documents are missing. Source documents are critical to auditors, who use them as evidence that recorded transactions actually occurred. A source document is also used by companies as proof when dealing with their business partners, usually in regard to a payments.

Ans: The accounting formula serves as the foundation of double-entry book keeping. Also called the accounting equation or balance sheet equation, this formula represents the relationship between the assets, liabilities, and owners’ equity of a business. The equation shows that the value of a company’s assets always equals the sum of its liabilities and owners’ equity. The accounting formula essentially shows what the firm owns (its assets) as purchased with either the money it owes to creditors (its liabilities) or by money its owners invest in the business (its owner’s equity or capital). This relationship can be expressed in the form of a simple equation:
Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ Equity
