To analyze the business transactions for the company, we'll use the basic accounting equation, which is:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Let's go through each transaction step-by-step to see how it affects the accounting equation:
Owner invested $20,000 in the business.
Assets increase by $20,000 (cash).
Equity increases by $20,000 (owner's equity contribution).
20000 = 0 + 20000
Owner borrowed $30,000 from the bank as additional investment in the business.
Assets increase by $30,000 (cash).
Liabilities increase by $30,000 (bank loan).
50000 = 30000 + 20000
The business purchased a printer costing $1,000.
Assets remain the same (cash decreases by $1,000, equipment increases by $1,000).
No change in Liabilities or Equity.
50000 = 30000 + 20000
Rendered services and received the full amount in cash, $500.
Assets increase by $500 (cash).
Equity increases by $500 (revenue).
50500 = 30000 + 20500
Rendered services on account (receivable from customer), $750.
Assets increase by $750 (accounts receivable).
Equity increases by $750 (revenue).
51250 = 30000 + 21250
Purchased office supplies on account (payable to supplier), $200.
Assets remain the same (office supplies increase by $200, no immediate cash impact).
Liabilities increase by $200 (accounts payable).
51250 = 30200 + 21050
Had some equipment repaired for $400, to be paid after 15 days.
No immediate change in Assets as expense will reduce future earnings.
Liabilities increase by $400 (accounts payable).
51250 = 30600 + 21050
Mr. Alex, the owner, withdrew $5,000 cash for personal use.
Assets decrease by $5,000 (cash).
Equity decreases by $5,000 (owner's withdrawal).
46250 = 30600 + 16050
Paid one-third of the loan obtained in transaction #2.
Assets decrease by $10,000 (cash).
Liabilities decrease by $10,000 (bank loan).
36250 = 20600 + 16050
Received customer payment from services in transaction #5.
* Assets increase by $750 (cash), and accounts receivable decreases by $750.
* No change in Liabilities or Equity as revenue was already recognized.
\[36250 = 20600 + 16050\]
In summary, by following the accounting equation, we can see how each transaction affects assets, liabilities, and equity balances, ensuring they remain balanced. This process is crucial in tracking a business's financial position.
