ACCOUNTING EQUATION
Case 1.
Mr. Batum Bakal invested P10,000 cash as initial capital for a vulcanizing business called Puti
Vulcanizing Shop. The business also took charge of the P2,000 payable of furniture and
equipment it is using.
Asset = Liabilities + Proprietorship
= P2,000 + P10,000
Asset = P12,000
Case 2.
Mr. Johnny Brave invested assets worth of P50,000 for handicraft business. However, actual
assets he invested is only P40,000.
Liabilities = Assets - Proprietorship
= P50,000 - P40,000
Liabilities = P10,000
A=L + P
P50,000 = P10,000 + P40,000
P50,000 = P50,000
Case 3.
Mr. Jack Tan gave cash and goods for a buy-and-sell business amounting to P60,000. However,
a P5,000 notes payable by him to Land Bank is assumed by the business.
Proprietorship = Assets - Liabilities
= P60,000 - P5,000
Proprietorship = P55,000
A = L+ P
P60,000 = P5,000 +P55,000
P60,000 = P60,000
Activity:
Case 1.
Mr. Joseph Andres started business by investing P7,500 cash. In addition, the business assume a
payable of Mr. Andres accounting to P1,500. Formulate the accounting equation.
A=L+P
= P1,500+P7,500
= P9,000
Case 2.
Mr. Eddie Smith invested assets worth P20,000. Capital of Mr. Smith is computed as
P15,000.
L=A–P
= P20,000 – P15,000 L
= P5,000

JOURNAL
Reference = folio
Journalizing process
Entering transaction data in the journal is known as journalizing. Companies make separate journal
entries for each transaction. A complete entry consists of:
• The debit account title (that is, the account to be debited) which is entered first at the extreme left
margin of the column headed “Account Titles and Explanation,” and the amount of the debit is recorded
in the Debit column.
• The credit account title (that is, the account to be credited) which is indented and entered on the next
line in the column headed “Account Titles and Explanation,” and the amount of the credit is recorded in
the Credit column.
• A brief explanation of the transaction which appears on the line below the credit account title. A space
is left between journal entries. The blank space separates individual journal entries and makes the entire
journal easier to read.
• The column titled Ref. (which stands for Reference)which is left blank when the journal entry is made.
This column is used later when the journal entries are transferred to the ledger accounts.
To illustrate the recording of transactions in the general journal, let us use the following transactions as
an example:
• September 1, 2015 Mr. Ben Mabait invested PHP500,000 in a restaurant business by opening an
account with SuperBank.
• September 5, 2015 purchased kitchen appliances for his business amounting to PHP100,000 by issuing
a check.
• September 6, 2015 started his operations a made a sales for that day amounting to
PHP20,000.
Some entries involve only two accounts, one debit and one credit. An entry like these is considered a
simple entry. Some transactions, however, require more than two accounts in journalizing. An entry
that requires three or more accounts is a compound entry. All of the transactions in the above
examples are simple entries. An example of a compound entry is the following:
On September 7, 2015, Mr. Mabait purchased a motorcycle costing PHP80,000. He pays PHP30,000 cash
and agrees to pay the remaining PHP50,000 on account (to be paid later). The compound entry is as
follows:

LEDGER
the book of final entry
2 kinds:
General Ledger (commonly referred by accounting professionals as GL) is a grouping of all
accounts used in the preparation of financial statements. The GL is a controlling account
because it summarizes all the activities that have taken place as recorded in its subsidiary ledger.
• The account portion refers to the account title for example: cash, accounts receivable.
• The account number is an assigned number for each account title to facilitate ease in recording and
cross-referencing.
• The item represents the source journal and the nature of the transactions
• The Reference identifies the page number of the general our special journal from which the
information was taken.
• The Debit and Credit columns are used in recording the amount of transactions from the general journal
or special journal.
• The Balance Column represents the running balance of the Account after considering the debit and
credit amounts. If the running balance amount is positive, the account has a debit balance whereas if it has
a negative running balance, the accounts has a credit balance.
Subsidiary Ledger is a group of like accounts that contains the independent data of a
specific general ledger. A subsidiary ledger is created or maintained if individualized data is
needed for a specific general ledger account. An example of a subsidiary ledger is the individual
record of various payables to suppliers. The total amount of these subsidiary ledgers should equal
the balance in the Accounts Payable general ledger.
• The upper portion indicates the name and address of the vendor or supplier.
• The vendor number is an assigned number for each vendor as reference in keeping the records
of a supplier.
• The Reference identifies the page number of the general our special journal from which the
information was taken.
• The Debit and Credit columns reflect the various effects of every transaction to the record of the
supplier or vendor.
Take note that the total running balance for all subsidiary ledgers should equal the Accounts payable
general ledger.
