Is Assets Plus Liabilities True
No, it is not true as the correct Accounting Equation shows that Assets is equal to the sum of Liabilities Plus Equity. Mathematically, we can write as shown below:
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
Here, Assets are the rights or resources or benefits available for the business in the future while Liabilities (External Sources of Finance) and Equity or Owner’s Equity (Internal
Sources of Finance) are the two claims or rights against the assets of the business that is why this equation prevails. Any increase in assets is financed either from owners internally or through outsiders such as banks creditor, etc.
