Solution

(a) Purchased supplies on account. Assets: Increase (You have more supplies, which are considered an asset) Liabilities: Increase (You owe money on account, which is a liability) Stockholders’ Equity: No effect (This transaction doesn't directly affect stockholders' equity)

(b) Received cash for performing a service. Assets: Increase (You received cash, which is an asset) Liabilities: No effect (This transaction doesn't directly affect liabilities) Stockholders’ Equity: Increase (Your equity increases because you earned income)

(c) Paid expenses in cash. Assets: Decrease (You paid cash, reducing your assets) Liabilities: No effect (This transaction doesn't directly affect liabilities) Stockholders’ Equity: Decrease (Your equity decreases because you incurred an expense)
