Answer 1

Answer:

Concord Corporation

Transaction Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity

1   Assets (Cash +$181,000) = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity (Common Stock +$181,000)

2  Assets (Cash +$54,000) = Liabilities (Bonds Payable +$54,000) + Equity

3  Assets (Delivery Trucks +$60,000, Cash - $60,000) = Liabilities + Equity

4  Assets (Cash + $17,000, Accounts Receivable -$17,000) = Liabilities + Equity

5  Assets (Supplies + $5,800) = Liabilities (Accounts Payable +$5,800) + Equity

6  Assets (Cash - $4,800) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings -$4,800)

7  Assets (Accounts Receivable + $11,000) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings + $11,000)

8  Assets (Cash - $29,300) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings + $29,300)

9 Assets (Cash - $10,700) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings + $10,700)

Explanation:

In accordance with the accounting equation, Assets are always equal to Liabilities + Equity with each given business transaction.  The accounting equation reflects the double-entry system of accounting.  It shows that two or more accounts are involved in any transaction and each transaction that is properly recorded keeps the equation in balance at all times.
