accounting equation checkpoint
In the power point one had to purchase their own drive-in theatre. One invested $100,000 in their business. The $100,000 would fall as a line item credit under assets and shareholder’s equity. And each side had to balance each other out. Next we had to invest $25,000 for business supplies. This will fall as a debit and credit line item under assets because we spend cash and the $25,000 would increase the value of the business. Next we had to but the land for $150,000. This was a debit and credit line item under assets because we used cash and credit $100,000 under liability because we now owe a debt. After fully balancing the equation, we had $200, 00 in assets (what we invested) and $100,000 in liabilities and shareholder’s equity.

Now question E 1-4 would better suited the answer to the instructions: For each of the three situations, say if the accounting method used is correct or incorrect. If correct, identify which principle or assumption supports the method used. If incorrect, identify which principle or assumption has been violated. Because it reflects 3 scenarios:

    * A balance sheet is summary of a company's financial condition at a specific point in time, including assets, liabilities and net worth. It allows the company to know what they have been paying for or what they owe out to people. An income statement is a report that tracks a company’s revenues, gross profits, operating income, and net worth. All businesses need to have revenue in order to establish a good foundation to have their business up and running. A retained earnings statement is the portion of net income not paid out to investors in the business as dividends. If the company earns a profit they have to decide whether or not to invest it or keep it as theirs and distribute it evenly throughout the others in the company. Statement of cash flows provides information about an entity's cash receipts and cash payments during a period. Cash flow statements classify cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities. Assets are any item or items of economic value owned by an individual or corporation, especially that which could be converted to cash. A liability is an obligation that legally binds an individual or company to settle a debt. Comparative statements are financial statements for different periods that allow the comparison of figures to illustrate trends in a company’s performance. Stockholder’s equity is the part of the balance sheet that represents the capital received from investors in exchange for stock donated capital and retained…
