Solution

The elements of the accounting equation that will change due to this transaction are assets and liabilities only.

Here's why:

The accounting equation is: Assets = Liabilities + Equity

  1. The sole trader is 5,000overdrawnatthebank.Thismeansthetraderhasaliability(moneyowed)of5,000 overdrawn at the bank. This means the trader has a liability (money owed) of 5,000.

  2. The trader then receives 1,000fromacreditcustomer.Thisincreasesthetradersassets(moneyowned)by1,000 from a credit customer. This increases the trader's assets (money owned) by 1,000.

  3. The net effect is that the trader's liabilities decrease by 1,000(from1,000 (from 5,000 to 4,000)andthetradersassetsincreaseby4,000) and the trader's assets increase by 1,000.
