If total assets of a business are ₹1,30,000 and net worth is ₹80,000, calculate the creditors.
Note: Net worth = Capital (owner’s equity)
Using the Accounting Equation:
Assets = Capital + Liabilities (Creditors)
Therefore: Creditors = Total Assets − Net Worth (Capital)
| Creditors | = Total Assets − Net Worth |
| = ₹1,30,000 − ₹80,000 | |
| = ₹50,000 |
Creditors = ₹50,000
