Prepare the analysis table and the journal. The cash sale gives a ₹20,000 profit (raises capital); outstanding salary ₹5,500 is a liability (reduces capital). Final equation: Assets ₹6,27,500 = Liabilities ₹50,500 + Capital ₹5,77,000. Journal total ₹17,08,000.

Concept

Every transaction keeps A = L + C in balance. A profit on sale and any income increase capital; drawings, expenses and losses (including an outstanding expense) decrease it. An amount still owing — the plant supplier's balance, the outstanding salary — is a liability until paid.

Statement showing the effect on the accounting equation

(Figures in ₹; Non-trade creditors = balance owed for Plant and Machinery; Trade creditors = amount owed for goods; the ₹5,500 outstanding salary is shown under Non-trade creditors.)
