Write the double-entry formula entries for the above transactions. Use the abbreviation for statement of financial position SOFP (balance sheet).
1) Specify whether the assets are current or non-current in nature?
2) Specify whether the liabilities are current or non-current in nature?
Answer:
We first need to break down the transactions for M/S. Safe Way Co. and create double-entry formula entries. We’ll also specify whether the assets and liabilities are current or non-current:
Assets:
- Land and Building: Rs.300,000 (Non-current asset)
- Shelves, Furniture, Fixtures, and Fittings: Rs.60,000 (Non-current asset)
- Computers, Till Machine, and Other Equipment: Rs.15,000 (Non-current asset)
- Delivery Van: Rs.15,000 (Non-current asset)
Liabilities:
- Loan: Rs.150,000 (Non-current liability)
Now let’s create the double-entry formula entries:
-
Land and Building (Non-current asset):
- Debit: Land and Building (Asset) = Rs.300,000
- Credit: Loan (Liability) = Rs.150,000
- Credit: Capital (Equity) = Rs.150,000
-
Shelves, Furniture, Fixtures, and Fittings (Non-current asset):
- Debit: Shelves, Furniture, Fixtures, and Fittings (Asset) = Rs.60,000
- Credit: Capital (Equity) = Rs.60,000
-
Computers, Till Machine, and Other Equipment (Non-current asset):
- Debit: Computers, Till Machine, and Other Equipment (Asset) = Rs.15,000
- Credit: Capital (Equity) = Rs.15,000
-
Delivery Van (Non-current asset):
- Debit: Delivery Van (Asset) = Rs.15,000
- Credit: Loan (Liability) = Rs.15,000
The accounting equation (SOFP) remains balanced as shown below:
[ {Assets} = {Liabilities} + {Equity} ]
We now organize the double-entry formula entries for M/S. Safe Way Co. in a tabulated format, resembling an accounts format:
Account | Debit (Rs) | Credit(Rs) |
---|---|---|
Land and Building | 300,000 | |
Shelves, Furniture, Fixtures, and Fittings | 60,000 | |
Computers, Till Machine, and Other Equipment | 15,000 | |
Delivery Van | 15,000 | |
Loan (Liability) | 150,000 | |
Capital (Equity) | 225,000 | |
Total: 390,000 | Total: 390,000 |
The accounting equation (SOFP) remains balanced:
[ {Assets} = {Liabilities} + {Equity} ]
