An example of an event that increases both current liabilities and use assets is a company taking out a short-term loan to purchase new equipment. The loan creates a current liability on the balance sheet, while the acquired equipment represents a use asset that can be utilized in operations. This transaction reflects an increase in financial obligations alongside an enhancement of operational capacity.
Of course, it is a liability because the company doesn't own the accrued taxes. It can use the money as long as it doesn't have to pay them. So, it represents quite cheap capital to invest in the short term. But that's also risky if something goes wrong. That said, I would classify it as a current liability because it's likely to have to be paid in less than a year.
Assets decrese, liability decreases, and Owner's equity has no change. Assets=Liabilities+SE
To solve for current liabilities using the current assets, current ratio, and quick ratio, start by using the current ratio formula: Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities. Rearranging this gives you Current Liabilities = Current Assets / Current Ratio. Next, use the quick ratio formula: Quick Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities to find inventory, and then substitute this back into your equations to isolate and solve for current liabilities.
Consumable stores are typically considered assets because they represent items that a company owns and can use in its operations. These items can be converted into cash or consumed to generate revenue. However, once consumed, they no longer hold value, so their classification can depend on the context of accounting and financial reporting. Overall, they are recorded as current assets until used.

Yes. There could be personal liability if you engage in self-dealing, fail to maintain good records, co-mingle funds, convert the principal's assets to your own use or mis-manage the principal's assets.

(total assets current year + total assets prior year)/2 total assets current year plus total assets prior year then divide that total by two to find the average. Dont over-think this.
you mean assets dont you lol

current assets are not depreciated because depreciation process is use to allocate long term asset cost to specific fiscal year in which it used if fixed assets also fully used in one fiscal year then there is no need of depreciation as well.
To determine the change in total assets, we can use the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owners' Equity. If total liabilities decrease by $46,000 and owners' equity increases by $60,000, the net change in assets would be a decrease of $46,000 plus an increase of $60,000, resulting in a total increase of $14,000 in assets.
No, a liability account is decreased with a debit, not a credit. In accounting, liabilities represent obligations, and to reduce them, you would record a debit entry. Conversely, credits increase liability accounts. Therefore, to decrease a liability, you would use a debit entry.
becoz as we use assets their value decreses due to wear and tear etc
