A capital contribution or an owner's equity account increases both an asset and equity. When an owner invests cash or other assets into the business, the cash or asset increases the company's assets, while the corresponding increase in equity reflects the owner's stake in the business. This transaction demonstrates the relationship between assets and equity, as both rise simultaneously.
The position of an account, whether it is an asset, liability, or equity, determines how increases are recorded in that account. For asset accounts, increases are recorded as debits, while decreases are recorded as credits. Conversely, for liability and equity accounts, increases are recorded as credits, and decreases are recorded as debits. This framework follows the double-entry accounting system, ensuring that the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) remains balanced.

Equity is something gained from an asset such as shareholders, interest earned, or mortgage's. there are many ways to earn equity. one popular way is interest earned from a savings account.
To post an increase in an asset, you would debit the asset account, reflecting its rise in value. Simultaneously, to record an increase in equity, you would credit an equity account, such as retained earnings or contributed capital. This dual entry maintains the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) and ensures that the financial statements remain balanced. For example, if a company receives cash from an owner, it would debit Cash (asset) and credit Owner’s Equity (equity).
