The Accounting Equation
Accounting is based upon a very simple idea known as the accounting equation.
The equation is written as:
Assets = Liabilities + Capital
Resources (what they are) = Resources (who supplied them)

The accounting equation highlights the assets that the business owns and how the business was able to acquire those assets – either through debt (liabilities) or contributions by the owner (capital).
Other forms of the accounting equation:
Capital = Assets – Liabilities
Liabilities = Assets – Capital

Title
No matter how you present the accounting equationthe totals of both sides will always equal each other, and this will always be true no matter how many transactions there may be. The actual assets, capital and liabilities may change, but the total of the assets will always equal the total of Capital + Liabilities.
