The owner's drawing and net loss are two factors that bring about a decrease in proprietorship?
The owner's drawing refers to the withdrawals made by the owner from the business for personal use, which reduces the equity in the proprietorship. Additionally, a net loss indicates that the business expenses exceed its revenues, further diminishing the owner's equity. Together, these factors contribute to a decrease in the overall value of the proprietorship, as they directly impact the owner's capital account. A sustained decrease in equity can affect the business's financial stability and its ability to invest in growth.

Do expenses incurred in operating a business increase the owners' equity?
Operating expenses considered in a vacuum by themselves would tend to decrease owner's equity. Indirectly, however, they are part of how owner's equity is increased, in that they are necessary in order to generate revenues.Broadly speaking, if the revenues earned for a period are greater than the operating expenses incurred, the net result is net income for the period, which increases owners' equity for the period. But if the total revenues for a period are less than the expenses incurred in the period, the result is a net loss, which would decrease owners' equity.
