Financial Claims Cont… A small company named Roadrunner Delivery Service purchases a Delivery Truck for $10,000. Roadrunner makes a down payment of $3,000. A bank loans the remaining $7,000 to RDS. Both RDS and the bank have a financial claim to the truck.
Financial Claims in Business Purchases Property = Creditor’s Financial Claim + Owner’s Financial Claim Truck ($10,000) = Bank ($7,000) + RDS ($3,000)
Repayment of Loan • As RDS repays the loan, the Bank’s financial claim over the Truck will decrease as RDS’ financial claim will increase. • When the loan is completely repaid, the creditor’s financial claim will be canceled.
Two Types of Equities • Owner’s Equity - Owner’s Financial Claim over an asset. • Liabilities - Creditor’s Claim over an asset. - These are debts a company owes to another organization.
The Accounting Equation Property = Creditor’s Financial Claim + Owner’s Financial Claim Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
