Business Transactions (chapter 4/5)
- Business transactions affect the assists, liabilities and equity items of an entity.
- A business transaction is recorded when: there has been an exchange of resources that can
be reliably measured in monetary terms and it occurs at arms length.
- Under the accounting entity concept, an entity must keep business transactions separate
from personal transactions of the owners.
Examples of Business Transactions
sale of goods to costumers
payment of wages
payment of loan principle.
Business transactions are recorded in a balance sheet/worksheet. (for small businesses)
Balance sheets operate using the equation above.
Every transaction recorded will have a dual effect. Eg. a van purchased will be both a liability of
capital and an asset of the business.
The equity section of the accounting equation can be expanded to include any profit or loss
earned in a period.
income (or revenue) increases equity
expenses decrease equity
profit is added to equity and loss is subtracted from equity.
Accounting Equation
- assets = liability + equity
A = L+E
(own) = (owe) + (owner)
