Balance of goods coming in negative while using Basic Accounting equation

1202 views 2 replies

I was solving a question related to posting of Journal entry for given question. Out of curiosity, I tried to solve it using basic accounting equation i.e. Assets = Liability+ Capital. After completing it I found that Goods balance is in negative. I am sure that I have not made any mistake in it (file attached). Have i done something wrong during the process? If not what does the negative sign signify?

Use Golden Rule

Asset= liability+capital is true. But when you spend cash or goods, the retained earning will reduce. That is why your balance sheet tallies. Assets reduce, your liabilities reduce. I hope you got it in the other problem as well.
