Introduction
Good day students, in today's lesson we will be talking about the Accounting Equation and its effect on the company's Assets, Liabilities and Owner's Equity.
Before we go an further, let us recap on the definitions of the Assets, Liabilities and Owner's Equity.
1. Assets- an asset is any resource owned or controlled by a business or an economic entity. It is anything that can be used to produce positive economic value
2. Liabilities - is defined as the future sacrifices of economic benefits that the entity is obliged to make to other entities as a result of past transactions or other past events.
3. Owner's Equity- refers to the owner's interests, stake in the company.
The below picture illustrates Accounting Equation, and also show the Accounting Equation which is: ASSETS= LIABILITIES + OWNER'S EQUITY.
NOTE: The below video will explain Accounting Equation in detail and also give examples which will show the effect on Assets, Liabilities and Owner's Equity. Please watch the video and if you have any questions, please contact me.

ACCOUNTING EQUATION
- I believe that everyone has watched and understood the above video as it will be a much great help when completing this task.
- In previous classes we did the Accounting Equation, but only focusing on Assets, Liabilities and Owner's Equity, and now we have added two columns: account to be debited and account to be credit.
- You are no stranger to debiting and creating accounts, as we have discussed the Double Entry Principle. A quick refresher on the Double Entry Principle; for every debit entry, there must be a corresponding credit entry.
TASK
ACTIVITY 2.
For each of the transactions indicate the accounts affected and the effect on the accounting equation.

Conclusion
In this lesson we have learnt about the application of the Double Entry Principle and how to apply it on the accounting equation.
After analysing the above transactions, we can observe how they affected different parts of the accounting equation. Knowing how entries affect the accounting equation is important for businesses because one simple mistake can cause a balance sheet or income statement to be over or understated.
