Answer :-
Accounting equation is based on double entry accounting i.e. for every entry you will have both debit and credit.
Accounting Equation ------ Asset = Liability + Owner capital
So in above equation we have asset on debit side and liability and owner capital on liability side
Lets take 2 example
1) You a qualified CA decided to Start Practice and agreed to investment $10000.
In above case at begining your Asset, Liability and Owner capital was all Zero
When you invest $10000 in Business.. Business get Cash which is Asset and owner capital is 10000
so Equation looks ------- Asset(10000) = Liability (0) + Owner Capital (10000)
2) You buy a laptop on credit for $1000.
Since laptop is asset your asset increase by $1000 and since you need to pay $1000 to supplier it is your liability
so Equation looks ------- Asset(11000) = Liability (1000) + Owner Capital (10000)
Always Asset should be equal to Liability + Owner capital hence we can say above statement is correct
