Explanation:
Assets are economic resources of the firm in which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity. Liabilities are the entity`s financial obligation to those who are not the owners of the business. Equity is the residual value after deducting am entity`s assets from its liabilities.
With this background, business transactions and events are recorded either as increase or decrease in asset, liabilities and equity.
