TRANSACTIONS AND THE
ACCOUNTING EQUATION
All business transactions, from the simplest to the
most complex, can be stated in terms of the resulting
change in the three basic elements of the accounting
equation. Before a transaction can be recorded in the
book of accounts, it must be analyzed into its debit and
credit elements. The following questions will be helpful in
analyzing a business transaction;
Which item (items) is/are affected Assets, Liabilities,
Capital?
How is each item affected it is increased or
decreased?
According to the rules of debit and credit, is the increase
or the decrease in the item to be debited or credited?
What account titles should be used to record the debit
or credit item?
S
Step 1: Analyze
Step 2: Apply double-
transactions and source
entry accounting
documents.

DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING
TRANSACTION ONE
Nick Requijo deposited P500,000 in a
bank account in the name of Requijo Taxi.
The effect of this transaction is to increase
the asset cash by P500,000 and to
increase capital, on the other side of the
equation, by the same amount. After the
transaction, the equation for Requijo Taxi
will appear as follows:

Requijos next transaction on September 5 is
to purchase land as a future building site, for
which P100,000 cash is paid. This transaction
changes the composition of the assets but does
not change the total amount. The items in the
equation prior to this transaction, the effects of
this transaction, and the new balance after the
transaction are as follow:

TRANSACTION THREE
Requijos current plans are to lease cars and other
equipment from California Bus Company for several
months until he can arrange financing for the purchase
of cars and other equipment and for the construction of
garage and storage facilities.
On September 7 Requijo purchases P60, 000 of
parts and other supplies from various suppliers, agreeing
to pay in the near future. This type of transaction is
called purchase of supplies on account and the liability
created is termed accounts payable. Consumable
commodities acquired, such as supplies, are considered
to be prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses are
expenses paid in advance and are classified as
asset.

TRANSACTION FIVE
The principal objective of the owner of a business
enterprise is to increase capital through earnings. For
Nick Requijo, this means that the cash and other assets
acquired through the sale of taxi services must be
greater than the cost of the gasoline and other supplies
used, the wages of drivers, the rent, and all of the other
expenses of operating the business.
In general, the amount charged to customers for goods
or services sold to them is called revenue. Alternative
terms may be used for particular types of revenue, such
as sales for the sale of merchandise or business
services, fees earned for charges by a physician to
patients, rent revenue for the use of real estate or other
property, and fares earned for Requijo Taxi.
DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING
After this transaction, the total assets amount to P700, 000 composed
of Cash P540, 000, Land P100, 000, and Supplies P60, 000. The total
equities are also P700, 000 composed of Accounts Payable P50, 000
and Capital of P650, 000 (including the fare earned).
Instead of requiring payment of cash at the time goods or services are
sold or rendered, a business may make sales of goods or services on
account, allowing customer to pay later. In such cases, the business
acquires a claim against the customer, called an account receivable.
An account receivable is as much an asset as cash, and the revenue
is realized in exactly the same manner as if cash had been
immediately received. At a later date, when the money is collected,
there is only an exchange of one asset for another, with cash
increasing and accounts receivable decreasing.

revenue from various
customer.

TRANSACTION SIX
Various business expenses incurred and
paid during the month were as follow: wages,
P40, 000; rent, P20, 000; gas and oil, P50, 000;
miscellaneous expenses, P10, 000. The effect of
this group of transaction is to reduce cash and to
reduce capital, as indicated in the following
manner in the equation:

At the end of the month it is determined that the cost
of supplies on hand is P40, 000, the remainder of P20,
000 (P60, 000- P40, 000) have been used in the
operations of the business. This deduction of P20, 000 in
supplies and capital may be shown as follows:
Supplies P20,000

In the transaction recorded, Supplies Expense was
debited because of decrease in capital due to
increase in expenses while Supplies (Unused) was
credited because of decrease in assets. Note to
Students The terms unused, unexpired,
inventory, and prepaid denote asset.
DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING
TRANSACTION EIGHT
At the end of the month, Nick Requijo withdraws from the
business P20, 000 in cash for his personnel use. This
transaction, which affects a decrease in cash and a
decrease in capital, is the exact opposite of an
investment in the business by the owner. The
withdrawal is not a business expense, and it should
be excluded from consideration in determining the
net income from operations of the enterprise. The
effect of the P20, 000 withdrawals on the equation is as
follows:
After this transaction, the total assets amount to P540,
000 composed of Cash P400, 000, Land P100, 000, and
Supplies of P40, 000. The total equities are also P540,
000 composed of Accounts Payable P50, 000 and
Capital P490, 000.
