Accounting equation is an accounting tool expressed in the form of equation, by creating a relationship between the resources or assets of a company, and claims on the resources by the creditors and the owners. Accounting equation is expressed as shown below:
Prove the quality of the accounting equation:
The quality of the accounting equation is proved as the assets side equals the liabilities and stockholders’ equity side.
Asset ($) | = | Liabilities ($) + Stockholders' equity ($) |
210,000 | = | 210,000 (90,500+84,500+35,000) |

e.
Identify the beginning and ending balances in the cash and common stock accounts and explain the reason for the beginning and ending balances of cash account being different and the beginning and ending balances of common stock being same.
Explanation of Solution
Cash:
Cash represents the cash reserves available with the company at a point of time.
Common stock:
These are the ordinary shares that a corporation issues to the investors in order to raise funds. In return, the investors receive a share of profit from the profits earned by the corporation in the form of dividend
The reason for the beginning and ending balances of cash account being different and the beginning and ending balances of common stock being same is explained as follows:
The cash account had the beginning and the ending balance of $195,000 and $ 210,000. The common stock account had the beginning balance of $84,500, and this was not changed during the period. The accounting events of Company M during the year 2019 affected only the cash account and did not affect the common stock account.
