1. The Accounting Equation | 会计等式
The mock paper often opens with a question that asks you to state the accounting equation and explain its importance. The accounting equation is the foundation of all double-entry bookkeeping. It shows that the resources owned by a business (assets) are always funded by either debts (liabilities) or the owner’s own contribution (owner’s equity). In its simplest form, the equation is written as:
模拟卷通常以一道要求你陈述会计等式并解释其重要性的题目开头。会计等式是所有复式记账的基石。它表明企业拥有的资源（资产）总是由负债（债务）或所有者自身投入（所有者权益）来融资。其最简单的形式如下：
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
资产 = 负债 + 所有者权益
Every transaction affects at least two items in this equation, and the equation must remain balanced at all times. For instance, if a business buys a computer for $1,200 in cash, one asset (computer) increases and another asset (cash) decreases by the same amount – total assets stay the same, and the equality holds. When the business takes a bank loan of $5,000, both assets (cash) and liabilities (bank loan) rise by $5,000, keeping the equation in balance. This dual effect is the core of double-entry recording.
每笔交易至少影响等式中的两个项目，且等式必须始终保持平衡。例如，企业用现金购买一台 $1,200 的电脑，一项资产（电脑）增加，另一项资产（现金）同额减少——总资产不变，等式依然成立。当企业获得 $5,000 银行贷款时，资产（现金）和负债（银行贷款）同时增加 $5,000，维持等式平衡。这种双重影响就是复式记账的核心。
2. Classifying Items: Asset, Liability, or Owner’s Equity | 项目分类：资产、负债还是所有者权益
A typical short-answer question presents a list of items and asks you to classify each as an asset, a liability, or owner’s equity. Consider the following items: Cash, Trade payables, Equipment, Capital, Bank loan, Trade receivables, Inventory. To answer correctly, remember the definitions. Assets are economic resources controlled by the business from which future economic benefits are expected. Liabilities are present obligations to transfer economic resources to outsiders. Owner’s equity is the residual interest in the assets after deducting liabilities.
典型的简答题会给出一个项目列表，要求你将每一项分类为资产、负债或所有者权益。考虑以下项目：现金、应付账款、设备、资本、银行贷款、应收账款、存货。要正确作答，需牢记定义。资产是企业控制的、预期能带来未来经济利益的资源。负债是向外部转移经济资源的现时义务。所有者权益是资产扣除负债后的剩余权益。
The classification can be neatly presented in a table. This method shows your examiner that you can systematically apply the definitions.
分类可以用表格清晰呈现。这种方法向考官展示了你能够系统化地运用这些定义。
| Item | Classification (English) | 分类 (中文) |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | Asset | 资产 |
| Trade payables | Liability | 负债 |
| Equipment | Asset | 资产 |
| Capital | Owner’s Equity | 所有者权益 |
| Bank loan | Liability | 负债 |
| Trade receivables | Asset | 资产 |
| Inventory | Asset | 资产 |
Pay close attention to items like ‘Trade receivables’ – they represent money owed to the business by customers, so they are assets. ‘Trade payables’ represent amounts the business owes to suppliers, so they are liabilities. The owner’s ‘Capital’ is the owner’s financial stake in the business, hence owner’s equity.
特别注意像“应收账款”这样的项目——它代表客户欠企业的款项，因此是资产。“应付账款”代表企业欠供应商的款项，所以是负债。所有者的“资本”是所有者对企业的财务投入，因此属于所有者权益。
3. Recording Journal Entries for Transactions | 记录交易的日记账分录
Structured questions frequently require you to enter a series of transactions into the general journal. Let’s work through five sample transactions and their correct double-entry records. The date and narration can be omitted in short tests, but always include the correct Dr and Cr accounts with amounts.
结构化问题经常要求你将一系列交易录入普通日记账。我们来看五个示例交易及其正确的复式记录。在短测试中可以省略日期和摘要，但务必包含正确的借方和贷方账户及金额。
Transaction 1: Purchased equipment for $5,000 cash. This increases the asset ‘Equipment’ and decreases the asset ‘Cash’. The journal entry is:
交易1：用现金购买设备 $5,000。这增加了资产“设备”，减少了资产“现金”。日记账分录为：
Dr Equipment $5,000
Cr Cash $5,000
借：设备 5,000
贷：现金 5,000
Transaction 2: Bought inventory on credit from XYZ Ltd for $2,000. Inventory, an asset, increases. Trade payables, a liability, also increases.
交易2：从 XYZ 公司赊购存货 $2,000。资产“存货”增加，负债“应付账款”也增加。
Dr Inventory $2,000
Cr Trade payables $2,000
借：存货 2,000
贷：应付账款 2,000
Transaction 3: The owner introduced additional capital of $10,000 in cash. Both cash (asset) and capital (owner’s equity) increase.
交易3：所有者以现金形式投入额外资本 $10,000。现金（资产）和资本（所有者权益）同时增加。
Dr Cash $10,000
Cr Capital $10,000
借：现金 10,000
贷：资本 10,000
Transaction 4: Paid electricity bill $300 by cash. This is an expense, which reduces owner’s equity (hence a debit), while cash (asset) decreases.
交易4：用现金支付 $300 电费。这是一项费用，会减少所有者权益（因此记在借方），同时现金（资产）减少。
Dr Electricity expense $300
Cr Cash $300
借：电费 300
贷：现金 300
Transaction 5: Sold goods on credit to ABC Co. for $1,500; the cost of goods sold was $900. This requires two entries: one to record the revenue and trade receivable, and another to record the reduction in inventory and the expense.
交易5：向 ABC 公司赊销商品 $1,500，销售成本为 $900。这需要两笔分录：一笔记录收入和应收账款，另一笔记录存货的减少和费用。
To record the sale:
记录销售：
Dr Trade receivables $1,500
Cr Sales revenue $1,500
借：应收账款 1,500
贷：销售收入 1,500
To record the cost of sales:
记录成本：
Dr Cost of sales $900
Cr Inventory $900
借：销售成本 900
贷：存货 900
Always check that for each transaction, the total debits equal the total credits. This habit will help you catch mistakes early.
务必检查每笔交易的借方总额是否等于贷方总额。这一习惯能帮助你尽早发现错误。
4. Posting to Ledger Accounts and Preparing a Trial Balance | 过账至分类账户并编制试算平衡表
Once journal entries are recorded, they are posted to individual ledger accounts. A ledger account is often presented in a ‘T’ format with a debit side (left) and a credit side (right). For example, the Cash account would show the $10,000 injection on the debit side (increase) and the $5,000 equipment purchase and $300 electricity payment on the credit side (decreases).
日记账分录记录完毕后，会被过账到各个分类账户。分类账户通常以“T”型格式呈现，分为借方（左）和贷方（右）。例如，现金账户会在借方显示 $10,000 的注资（增加），在贷方显示 $5,000 的设备购置和 $300 电费支付（减少）。
After all transactions have been posted, the balances of each ledger account are calculated. These balances are then listed in a trial balance to check the arithmetic accuracy of the double-entry records. A trial balance is simply a list of all account balances, with debit balances in one column and credit balances in another. The total of the debit column must equal the total of the credit column.
所有交易过账后，需计算每个分类账户的余额。然后将这些余额列入试算平衡表，以检查复式记录的算术准确性。试算平衡表就是一份所有账户余额的列表，借方余额列在一栏，贷方余额列在另一栏。借方栏的总额必须等于贷方栏的总额。
Suppose from our earlier entries and some opening balances, we end up with the following trial balance extract (showing selected accounts):
假设根据我们之前的条目以及一些期初余额，我们得出以下试算平衡表摘录（显示部分账户）：
| Account | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | 4,700 | |
| Inventory | 1,100 | |
| Trade receivables | 1,500 | |
| Equipment | 5,000 | |
| Trade payables | 2,000 | |
| Bank loan | 5,000 | |
| Capital | 10,000 | |
| Sales revenue | 1,500 | |
| Cost of sales | 900 | |
| Electricity expense | 300 |
Totals on both debit and credit sides are $13,500. The trial balance agrees, confirming that our double entries are mathematically correct at this stage.
借方和贷方总额均为 $13,500。试算平衡表平衡，确认此时我们的复式分录在算术上是正确的。
5. Preparing the Income Statement | 编制利润表
The income statement (also called the profit and loss account) reports the business’s financial performance over a period. It follows a clear structure: revenue less the cost of goods sold gives gross profit. Then, other operating expenses are subtracted to arrive at net profit. Let’s use additional data from a mock test: Sales revenue $48,000, Cost of sales $28,000, Wages $8,500, Rent $5,000, Utilities $2,000, Advertising $1,200. Prepare the income statement for the year ended 31 December 2025.
利润表（也称损益表）报告企业在一定期间内的财务业绩。它有清晰的结构：收入减去销售成本得出毛利，再减去其他营业费用得出净利润。我们使用模拟测试的附加数据：销售收入 $48,000，销售成本 $28,000，工资 $8,500，租金 $5,000，水电费 $2,000，广告费 $1,200。编制截至 2025 年 12 月 31 日的利润表。
The income statement would look like this:
利润表如下所示：
| Sales revenue | $48,000 |
| Less: Cost of sales | ($28,000) |
| Gross profit | $20,000 |
| Less: Operating expenses | |
| Wages | ($8,500) |
| Rent | ($5,000) |
| Utilities | ($2,000) |
| Advertising | ($1,200) |
| Net profit | $3,300 |
Notice that all expenses are shown in brackets to indicate they are deducted. The net profit of $3,300 is added to the owner’s equity in the statement of financial position.
注意所有费用均使用括号表示其为扣除项目。净利润 $3,300 将在财务状况表中加至所有者权益。
6. Preparing the Statement of Financial Position | 编制财务状况表
The statement of financial position (balance sheet) shows the assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity of a business at a single point in time. It is prepared using the closing balances from the trial balance and the net profit from the income statement. Use the following balances from our mock scenario: Equipment $15,000, Inventory $3,200, Trade receivables $2,100, Cash $1,700, Trade payables $4,500, Bank loan $8,000, Capital at start $10,000, and the net profit $3,300 (assume no drawings).
财务状况表（资产负债表）显示企业在某一时点的资产、负债和所有者权益。它使用试算平衡表的期末余额和利润表中的净利润来编制。使用我们模拟场景中的以下余额：设备 $15,000，存货 $3,200，应收账款 $2,100，现金 $1,700，应付账款 $4,500，银行贷款 $8,000，期初资本 $10,000，净利润 $3,300（假设无提款）。
Structure the statement clearly:
