Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is stated below:

Explanation:

A. Received or collected $10,000 in exchange of the common stock:

This transaction will have an impact on the Accounting Equation of the Accounts, which is :

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

As the cash is received, there will be an increase in the assets and under the cash account of the current assets. Though the cash is against the common stock, which increases the common stock account upon the side of the equity.

Therefore, it will be:

Increase in assets (Cash) : Increase in equity (Common Stock)

B. Bought the equipment on account worth $5,000.

This transaction will have an impact on the Accounting Equation as:

As the equipment is purchased will in turn lead to increase in the assets side, under the equipment account and it is purchased on account, which means on credit, that leads to increase in the liability under the Accounts Payable account.

Therefore, it will be:

Increase in assets (Equipment) : Increase in Liability (Accounts Payable)
