  1. Capital = Assets + Liabilities

  2. Capital = Assets - Liabilities

  3. Assets = Liabilities - Capital

  4. Liabilities = Assets + Capital


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The basic accounting equation, also called as the balance sheet equation, represents the relationship between the assets, liabilities and capital of a business. It is the foundation for the double entry book-keeping system. For each transaction, the total debit equals the total credit. Following is the accounting equation:

Asset = Liability + Capital.

The accounting equation is based on __________.

  1. Going concern concept

  2. Dual aspect concept

  3. Money measurement concept

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Dual aspect concept is the basic concept of accounting, According to which every business transactions has a dual effect. As the name implies , the entry made for each transaction is composed of two parts- one for the debit and the other for the credit. Every debit has an equal amount of credit. So, the total of all debits equal to the total of all credits. This gives basic accounting equation:

Assets = Liabilities + Capital.

  3. Capital + Profit = Assets + Expenses

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

X started business with a capital of $Rs. 2,00,000$ and purchased goods worth $Rs. 20,000$ on credit. These transactions may be expressed in the form of 'Accounting Equation' such as___________. 

  1. $Rs. 2,20,000 = Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 20,000$

American accountants have derived the rules of debit and credit through ________.

  1. Accounting equation

  2. Convention of conservation

  3. Accounting conventions

According to accounting equation concept, every business transaction recorded in accounts has two aspects. Which are these two aspects?

  1. Capital and liabilities

  2. Giving of benefit and receiving of benefit

  3. Liabilities and assets

  4. Giving of profit and receiving of profit


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Dual aspect is the foundation or basic principle of accounting. It provides the very basis for recording business transactions into the book of accounts. This concept states that every transaction has a dual or two-fold effect and should therefore be recorded at two places. In other words, at least two accounts will be involved in recording a transaction.

The double-entry system also requires that for all transactions, the amounts entered as debits must be equal to the amounts entered as credits.

Hence, the two aspects are giving and receiving of benefits.

Accounting equation is as follows __________________.

  1. $Capital + Liabilities$

  2. $Assets = Equities$

  3. $Capital = Liabilities$

  4. $Assets = Liabilities$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Dual aspect is the foundation or basic principle of accounting. This concept states that every transaction has a dual or two-fold effect and should therefore be recorded at two places.

The duality principle is commonly expressed in terms of fundamental Accounting Equation, which is as follows :

Assets = Liabilities + Capital

In other words, the equation states that the assets of a business are always equal to the claims of owners and the outsiders. The claims also called equity of owners is termed as Capital(owners’ equity) and that of outsiders, as Liabilities(creditors equity), which together are called as Equities.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

  1. Assets = Capital/Liabilities

  2. Capital = Assets - Liabilities

  3. Assets = Liabilities - Capital

  4. Liabilities = Assets + Capital


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Accounting equation may defined as:

Capital+Liabilities= Total assets

This can further be presented as:
Capital=Total assets-Liabilities

From the following which is according to Dual aspects.

  1. Capital = Liabilities + Assets

  2. Assets = Liabilities + Capital

  3. Assets = Liabilities - Capital

  4. Liabilities = Assets + Capital


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

As per dual concept, every transaction has two effects. One effect must be debit and the other must be credit. Dual aspect concept has been made on the basis of accounting equation. In accounting equation, there are two sides. One side represents total assets and other side represents total liabilities. The total liabilities include capital and external liabilities. Assets always equal to liabilities. 


The accounting equation is as follows:
Capital + Liabilities = Assets.
