The relationship between the accounting equation and the balance sheet is the NET PROFIT. ( I THINK :/ )
The accounting equation never changesassets = liabilities + owners equityAt the end of the year, accounts are closed out, such as expense accounts and revenue and are begun with a "0" balance for the new accounting cycle (fiscal or calendar year).
The Balance Sheet shows that Assets = Liabilities + Equity
true
One way to describe the balance sheet is a more detailed version of the accounting equation. A= L+E.

Balance sheet
The accounting equation never changesassets = liabilities + owners equityAt the end of the year, accounts are closed out, such as expense accounts and revenue and are begun with a "0" balance for the new accounting cycle (fiscal or calendar year).
The Balance Sheet shows that Assets = Liabilities + Equity

to prove the accounting equation, i.e Assets= Liabilities + owners equity
The Accounting Equation is Assets=Liabilities + Owner's Equity?
Assets - Liabilities = Capital Also expressible as Assets = Capital + Liabilities. The accounting equation can be extended to include the Income and Expense accounts: Assets + Expenses = Capital + Liabilities + Income. With the accounting equation specified in the second and extended versions above, those on the left of the equals [normally] have left hand side of a T-account balance, ie a Debit balance; and those on the right [normally] have a right hand side of a T-account balance, ie a Credit balance. eg office furniture is an asset and has a debit balance; a bank loan is a liability and has a credit balance.
This can mean that either you got the maths wrong, or that the business has not accounted for one or more transactions. Ex: Company purchased $2,000 in equipment in cash. You Debit the equipment, but forget to Credit the cash balance. That incorrect transaction would cause the accounting equation to be incorrect. The accounting equation is... Assets = Liability + Owner Equity
Expenses are debited in accounting transactions to reflect the decrease in the company's assets or increase in its liabilities. This helps maintain the balance in the accounting equation and accurately track the company's financial performance.
