Question
Outback Bull Bars invoices a customer $400 for maintenance services supplied on credit. What is the effect of this transaction on the accounting equation?
Solution
The accounting equation is: Assets = Liabilities + Equity.
When Outback Bull Bars invoices a customer 400.
At the same time, it also increases the company's Service Revenue (part of Equity) by $400.
So, the effect on the accounting equation is:
- Assets (Accounts Receivable) increase by $400
- Equity (Service Revenue) increases by $400
Therefore, the accounting equation remains in balance. The increase in assets is offset by an equal increase in equity.
