Answer with its Explanation:
Transaction 1: The purchase of equipment is increase in the fixed assets and as the amount paid is in cash, the decrease in cash asset will also be with the same amount. This means the net effect on assets will be zero.
Accounting Equation is given as under:
Fixed Assets + Current Asset  = Equity + Liability
Equipment 318,770   -  Cash $318,770  = Zero Net Effect
Transaction 2: The increase in the equity will increase the current asset as well here, which means:
Fixed Assets + Current Asset  = Equity + Liability
Current Assets + $139,050   =  Issued common stock + $139,050
Transaction 3: The purchase of inventory on account means that the current asset would be increased and the payables will increase with the same amount. The effect on the accounting equation is given as under:
Fixed Assets + Current Asset  = Equity + Liability
Current Asset + $70,94   =   Current liabilities + $70,940
