Indicate the effects (accounts, amounts, and or- of each transaction (on January 1, 2, 3, and 5 and July 1) on the accounting equation.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Date Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder's Equity

January 1 No effect No effect No effect

January 2 Cash $28,000 Note payable $22,000

Equipment -$6,000

January 3 Cash $1,400

Equipment -$1,400

January 5 Cash $2,300

Equipment -$2,300

July 1 Cash $23,100 Note payable -$22,000 Interest expense $1,100

( July 1 cash = balance due + interest

= $22,000 + ($22,000*10%*6/12)

= $23,100 )
