The Fundamental
Accounting Equation

Assets = Liabilities + Capital

Accounting Equation
Accounting Equation: Assets = Capital plus Liabilities  or Liabilities = Assets minus
Capital
Assets = 5,00,000, Capital = 3,50,000. We need to find Liabilities. Liabilities= 5,00,000 minus 3,50,000 =
1,50,000 
The accounting equation ensures the financial balance of the business. Assets represent everything the
business owns. Capital is the owner's stake in the business. Liabilities represent the claims of outsiders
This approach is foundational to understanding the financial position of any business.

D. None of these

Answer - 3 
A. Over provision for depreciation 
on the asset 
Next slide: Explanation

Explanation – 3  
When a profit is realized on the disposal of a fixed asset, it often occurs because the asset was depreciated more than its actual
usage or wear and tear. This means that the accumulated depreciation on the asset was higher than necessary, leading to its book
value being lower than the price at which it was sold.
Depreciation is the allocation of the cost of an asset over its useful life. If the depreciation is over-provided, the book value of the
asset will be understated. Upon selling, the difference between the sale price and the book value results in a profit because the
asset’s value was understated due to excessive depreciation.
Practical Example: Original Cost of Asset: ₹1,00,000, Accumulated Depreciation (over-provided): ₹80,000, Book Value = ₹1,00,000 –
₹80,000 = ₹20,000.  Where as Sale Price: ₹50,000
Here: The book value of the asset was ₹20,000.  The sale price was ₹50,000. Profit on Sale = ₹50,000 - ₹20,000 = ₹30,000.
The profit occurred because depreciation was over-provided, making the book value lower than it should have been.
Thus, the profit on disposal is related to the over provision for depreciation.

Question - 4 
Original cost= Rs. 1,26,000; Salvage value= Rs. 6,000. Useful life= 6 Years. 
Annual depreciation under Straight Line Method ? (AFA 70% 2024)
A. Rs. 21,000
B. Rs. 20,000
C. Rs. 15,000
D. Rs. 14,000

Answer - 4 
B. Rs. 20,000

STRAIGHT-LINE DEPRECIATION

COST OF ASSET - SALVAGE VALUE

USEFUL LIFE

SLM – Straight Line Method of Depreciation  
SLM - Annual Depreciation=Original Cost−Salvage Value/Useful Life
Given Data: Original Cost = ₹1,26,000, Salvage Value = ₹6,000, Useful Life = 6 years
Calculation: Annual Depreciation = ₹1,26,000−₹6,000 / 6 years =  ₹20,000 
Definition of SLM of Depreciation: The Straight-Line Method (SLM) is a simple and commonly used method of depreciation.
