The accounting equation implies the relationship between the assets, liabilities, and the stockholders equity. The balance of both the assets and the liabilities, stockholders equity must be equally balanced. The accounting equation is as follows;
- a. Journalize the issuance of common stock.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
Cash (A+) | 80,000 | ||
Common stock (SE+) | 80,000 | ||
(To record the issuance of common stock to investors) |
Table (1)
- Cash is an asset account. Thus, an increase in cash increases the value of asset account. Hence, debit cash account by $80,000.
- Common stock is a component of
stockholder equity account. Thus, an increase in common stock increases the value of stockholders equity account. Hence, common stock account is being credited to increase its balance by $80,000.b. Journalize the service rendered partly for cash and partly on account.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
Cash (A+) | 16,000 | ||
Accounts receivable (A+) | 72,000 | ||
Service revenue (R+, SE+) | 88,000 | ||
(To record the service performed partly for cash and partly on account) |
Table (2)
- Cash is an asset account. Thus, an increase in cash increases the value of asset account. Hence, debit cash account by $16,000.
- Accounts receivable is an asset account. Thus, an increase in accounts receivable increases the value of asset account. Hence, debit accounts receivable account by $72,000.
- Service revenue is a stockholder’s equity account. Thus, an increase in service revenue increases the value of stockholder’s equity account. Hence, service revenue account is being credited to increase its balance by $88,000.
- c. Journalize the equipment purchased on account.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
Equipment (A+) | 82,000 | ||
Notes payable (L+) | 82,000 | ||
(To record the purchase of equipment by signing a note ) |
Table (3)
- Equipment is an asset account. Thus, an increase in equipment increases the value of asset account. Hence, debit equipment account by $82,000.
- Notes payable is a liability account. Thus, an increase in notes payable increases the value of liability account. Hence, account payable account is being credited to increase its balance by $82,000.
- d. Journalize the repair expense incurred on account.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
Repairs and maintenance expenses (E+, SE-) | 3,000 | ||

Thus, an increase in accounts payable increases the value of liability account. Hence, accounts payable account is being credited to increase its balance by $3,000.

Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
Cash (A+) | 65,000 | ||
Accounts receivable (A–) | 65,000 | ||

- f. Journalize the amount borrowed by signing a note.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
Cash (A+) | 90,000 | ||
Notes payable (L+) | 90,000 | ||
