Purchase bike equipment by signing a note with the bank for $32,000. Pay utilities of $4,700 for the current month. Analyze each transaction and indicate the amount of increases and decreases in the accounting equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Accounting equation is as follows:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder's Equity

(a) Services worth of $47,000 provided on account which increases the accounts receivable which is a part of assets and increases service revenue which is a part of equity.

Assets = Increases ($47,000)

Stockholder's Equity = ($47,000)

(b) Received cash from the customers for services provided on account.

This increases the cash which is a asset and reduces the accounts receivable with the same amount.

Assets = Increases ($47,000) ⇒ Cash

Assets = Decreases ($47,000) ⇒ Accounts receivable

(c) Purchasing a bike by signing a note would increases the notes payable which is a liability and increases the Equipment which is a asset.

Assets = Increases ($32,000) ⇒ Equipment

Liabilities = Increases ($32,000) ⇒ Notes payable

(d) This will reduce the cash which is an asset and increases the utility expense which lead to reduce the equity.

Assets = Decreases ($4,700) ⇒cash

Stockholder's Equity = ($4,700) ⇒ Utility expense
