• It will be beneficial in the long-term to be able
to understand a classification approach that
emphasizes the effects of accounting events
rather than the recording procedure involved.
1. Source of Assets (SA) - An asset account increases and a
corresponding claims (liabilities or owner's equity) account
increases.
2. Exchange of Assets (EA) - One asset account increases and
another asset account decreases.
3. Use of Assets (UA) - An asset account decreases and a
corresponding cdairns (liabilities or equity) account decreases.
CASH EQUIVALENT
these are short-term
Expenses
Cost of Sales. The cost incurred to purchase or to
produce the products sold to customers during the
period; also called cost of goods sold.
Salaries or Wages Expense. Includes all payments as a
result of an employer-employee relationship such as
salaries or wages, 13th month pay, cost of living
allowances and other related benefits.
FINANCIAL
TRANSACTION
Every financial transaction can be analyzed or expressed
in terms of WORKSHEET
its effects on the accounting equation. The
financial transactions will be analyzed by means of a
financial transaction worksheet which is a form used to
analyze increases and decreases in the assets, liabilities or
owner’s equity of a business entity.
ILLUSTRATION
Leopoldo Medina decided to establish a sole proprietorship business and named it as Medina Graphics
Design. Medina is a graphic designer who has extensive experience in drawing, layout, typography, lettering,
diagramming and photography possesses the talent to visually communicate to a target audience with the right
combination of words, images and ideas.
Medina Graphics Design can do the layout and production design of newspaper magazines, corporate
reports, journals and other publications. The entity can create promotional displays, marketing brochures for
services and products; packaging design for products, and distinctive logos for businesses. He also enters into
agreements with clients for the progressive development and maintenance of their web sites. His revenue stream
comes from web designing. The owner, Leopoldo Medina, makes the business decisions. The assets of the
company belong to Medina and all obligations of the business are his responsibility. Any income that the entity
earns belongs solely to Medina.
When a specific asset, liability or owner's equity item is created by a finance transaction, it is listed in the
financial transaction worksheet using the appropriate accounts. The worksheet that follows shows the first
transaction of the Media Graphics Design. The dates are enclosed in parentheses. During March 2013, the first
month of operations, various financial transactions took place. These transactions are described and analyzed as
follows:
The financial transaction is analyzed as follows:
An entity separate and distinct from Medina’s personal financial affairs is created.
An economic resource – cash of 350,000 is invested in the business entity. The source of this asset is the contribution
made by the owner, which represents owner’s equity. The owner’s equity is Medina, Capital.
The dual nature of the transaction is that the cash is invested and owner’s equity created. The effects on the accounting
equation are as follows: increase in asset – cash from zero to 350,000 and increase in owner’s equity from zero to
350,000
At this point, the entity has no liabilities, and assets equal owner’s equity
The transaction did not change the total assets but it did change the composition of the assets – it
decreased one asset (cash) and increased another asset (computer equipment) by 145,000. Note
that the sums of the balances on both sides of the equation are equal. This equality must always
exist.
Mar. 9 Computer supplies in the amount of 25,000 are purchased to account
Assets don’t have to be purchased in cash. It can also be purchased on credit. Acquiring the
computer supplies with a promise to pay the amount due later is called buying an account. This
transaction increases both assets and liabilities of the business. The asset affected is computer
supplies and the liability created is an accounts payable.
The entity earned service income by designing web sites for clients. Medina rendered his service
and collected revenue in cash. The effect on the accounting equation is an increase in asset- cash
and in owner’s equity. Income increases owner’s equity.
Expenses are recorded when they are incurred. Expenses can be paid in cash when they occur, or
they can be paid later. The payment for utilities is an expense for the month of March. It
represented an outflow of resources and a reduction of owner’s equity. Expenses have the
opposite effect of income; they cause the business to shrink as shown by the smaller amount of
total assets of 445,000
The entity has performed services to clients so income should already be recognized. Medina is
entitled to receive payment for these but the clients did not pay immediately. Performing services
creates an economic resource, the clients’ promise to pay the amount which is called accounts
receivable. This transaction resulted to an increase in asset (accounts receivable) and increase in
owner’s equity of 35,000
This transaction is a payment on account. The effect on the accounting equation is a decrease in
the asset (cash) and a decrease in liability (accounts payable). The payment of cash on account
has no effect on the asset (computer supplies) because the payment does not increase or
decrease the supplies available to the business.
Mar. 20 Checks totaling 25,000 were received from clients for billings dated Mar. 17
Last March 17, Medina billed clients for services already rendered. On March 20, the entity was
able to collect 25,000 from them. The cash increased by 25,000. The business should not record
income on March 20 since it has already recorded the income last March 17. Total assets are
unchanged. The business merely reduced asset which is the accounts receivable and increased
another which is the cash.
On March 1, Medina invested 350,000 both in cash and owner’s equity increased. The transaction
was an investment by the owner and not an income-generating activity. Medina simply transferred
funds from his personal account to the business. A cash withdrawal is the exact opposite. The
20,000 cash withdrawal transaction resulted to a reduction in both cash and owner’s equity.
Using of
T-ACCOUNTS
Analyzing and recording transactions using the
accounting equation is useful in conveying a basic
understanding of how transaction affect the business.
However, it is not an efficient approach once the
number of accounts involved increases. Double-entry
system provides a formal system of classification and
recording business transactions
This transaction increased both cash and owner’s equity. The entry is is to debit cash and credit
Medina’s Capital
