Q & A

What are the two main types of accounts in accounting?

The two main types of accounts in accounting are real accounts and nominal accounts. Real accounts are permanent accounts that carry over to the next year, while nominal accounts are temporary and are closed at the end of the year, typically appearing in the income statement.

What are real accounts in accounting?

Real accounts are permanent accounts that record the assets and liabilities of a company. They are not closed at the end of the accounting period and their balances continue into the following year.

What are nominal accounts in accounting?

Nominal accounts are temporary accounts that include revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. These accounts are closed at the end of the accounting period and their balances are transferred to the income statement.

What is a current asset (aktiva lancar)?

A current asset is an asset that is expected to be converted into cash or used up within one year or one accounting cycle. Examples include cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and inventories.

What is the difference between tangible and intangible assets?

Tangible assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, are physical items that a company owns and uses in operations. Intangible assets, on the other hand, are non-physical assets like patents, trademarks, goodwill, and copyrights.

What are long-term investments?

Long-term investments refer to the capital that a company invests in other companies or assets with the intention of holding them for more than one year. These investments are not intended to be sold in the short term and are aimed at earning profits or gaining control over other entities.

What are liabilities in accounting?

Liabilities refer to the debts or obligations that a company owes to external parties. These obligations must be settled through the transfer of assets or services, often with a set deadline. Liabilities can be short-term (due within a year) or long-term (due beyond a year).

What is the purpose of equity in accounting?

Equity represents the ownership interest in a company, showing the value that the owners or shareholders have after all liabilities have been deducted from assets. It is essentially the company’s net worth.

What is the distinction between operating and non-operating income?

Operating income refers to the revenue generated from a company’s core business activities, such as the sale of goods or services. Non-operating income includes revenue from peripheral activities, like interest income or gains from investments.

What are expenses in accounting?

Expenses are the costs incurred by a company in its operations, which reduce its equity. They include costs related to the production and sale of goods or services, administrative expenses, and interest payments.
