If we limit the transactions in an account to a particular customer, the balance on the account also represents the balance on that customer’s account.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

If transactions in an account are limited to a particular customer, it means that only that customer can make transactions on the account. Therefore, the balance on the account would accurately reflect the balance on that customer's account since no other transactions from other customers would affect it. Hence, the statement is true.

In order to make sure that the accounts do not contain any erroneous transactions, it is important to balance the accounts on a yearly basis.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Balancing the accounts on a yearly basis is not necessary to ensure that the accounts do not contain any erroneous transactions. While it is good practice to regularly review and reconcile accounts, the frequency at which this is done may vary depending on the organization's needs and the volume of transactions. Some businesses may choose to balance their accounts on a monthly or quarterly basis instead. Therefore, the statement is false.

The capital of a business represents the money that the investors and banks have put in.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The capital of a business does not solely represent the money that the investors and banks have put in. It also includes retained earnings, which are the profits that the business has earned and reinvested back into the company. Additionally, capital can also include assets such as equipment, property, and inventory. Therefore, the statement is false as it oversimplifies the concept of business capital.

The basic accounting equation is: Capital = Assets + Liabilities
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The given statement is false. The correct accounting equation is:

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

This equation represents the fundamental principle of double-entry bookkeeping, where every transaction has an equal impact on both sides of the equation. Assets represent what a company owns, liabilities represent what it owes to others, and equity represents the owner's investment in the business. By rearranging the equation, we can see that the correct relationship is Assets = Liabilities + Equity.
