This equation holds good for all transactions and events and at all periods of time
The equation is as follows: Assets = Equities Equities can be subdivided into i. equity of the owners which is known as capital (internal equity) ii. equity of creditors who represent the debts of the business know as liabilities.( external equity) The accounting equation can be restated as follows: Assets = Liabilities + Capital (Or) Capital = Assets Liabilities (Or) Liabilities = Assets Capital.
