Answer 1

Answer:

Impact of $2,000 sale on accounting equation is as follow:

Accounting Equation

 Asset             =        Equity           +      Liabilities

Cash+2000        Sales+2,000            No Effect

As cash an asset for the business, so the receipt will increase the balance of assets of the company. The revenue is ultimately adjusted to equity in the form of net income after deducting all the expenses. This transaction will result in increase of equity balance by the sale amount.
