Formulas
A = L + C
A represents Assets, L represents Liabilities, and C represents Capital. This equation signifies the fundamental relationship between the assets owned by a business and the claims against those assets.
A - L = C
Rearrangement of the accounting equation, used to find Capital if Assets and Liabilities are known. Useful for various accounting assessments.
Total Debits = Total Credits
In double-entry accounting, this principle ensures that for every debit entry, there is a corresponding credit entry, maintaining the balance of the accounting equation.
Increase in Assets = Debit
Indicates that when assets increase, they are debited. This applies universally in accounting for all asset transactions.
Decrease in Assets = Credit
Indicates that when assets decrease, they are credited, reflecting outflows or disposals of assets in accounting.
Increase in Liabilities = Credit
Shows that when liabilities increase (e.g., debt, payables), they are credited, which indicates a source of funds for the business.
Decrease in Liabilities = Debit
Indicates that a decrease in liabilities should be recorded as a debit, reducing the obligations of the business.
Increase in Capital = Credit
Increases in the owner's equity (capital) from profits or additional investments are credited.
Decrease in Capital = Debit
This indicates that any withdrawals or losses reducing the equity are debited against Capital.
Debits and Credits vary by account type
For Assets: Debit = Increase, Credit = Decrease; For Liabilities: Debit = Decrease, Credit = Increase; For Capital: Debit = Decrease, Credit = Increase.
