A sole trader is 1,000 from a credit customer in respect of its account. Which elements of the accounting equation will change due to this transaction?Question 5Answera.Liabilities onlyb.Assets, liabilities, and capitalc.Assets and liabilities onlyd.Assets only
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
-
The sole trader is 5,000.
-
The trader then receives 1,000.
-
The net effect is that the trader's liabilities decrease by 5,000 to 1,000.
So, the correct answer is c. Assets and liabilities only.
