Question

Address You, a fancy dress manufacturer, sold a dress for $8,000 on credit. The cost of producing this dress was $1,000. First, how would the revenue and receivable from this transaction impact the accounting equation of Address You? Please enter the amounts in the boxes below.

Answer 1

Answer:

It will affect the accounting equation in $7.000.

Explanation:

The Assets will increase in $8.000 because Address You now have the right to claim to a customer $8.000 and is recognized in the Receivables. At the same time, Address You has to diminish its inventories at $1.000, because it delivered the dress to the customer. Finally, on the other hand, the profits for selling the dress ($8.000 - $1.000) affect the equity, and now the Accounting equation is balanced.
