Solution

The accounting equation is: Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

When Outback Bull Bars invoices a customer 400formaintenanceservicessuppliedoncredit,itincreasesthecompanysAccountsReceivable(anasset)by400 for maintenance services supplied on credit, it increases the company's Accounts Receivable (an asset) by 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.
