The accounting equation can be expressed as:

  3. Assets = Capital + Liabilities
  4. Capital = Assets + Liabilities
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Assets = Capital + Liabilities
Award 1 mark for stating the correct accounting equation: Assets = Capital + Liabilities. A is incorrect — liabilities are added, not subtracted. B is incorrect — this formula is mathematically incorrect. D is incorrect — this reverses the relationship; capital equals assets minus liabilities.

CXC CSEC Principles of Accounts: Introduction to Accounting FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Principles of Accounts?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Introduction to Accounting practice with other Principles of Accounts topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Introduction to Accounting questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Principles of Accounts syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Principles of Accounts specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Introduction to Accounting typically tested on CXC CSEC Principles of Accounts papers?
Introduction to Accounting appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Principles of Accounts papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
