a | Cash & Equipment | +10,000 | = | 0 | + | Common stock | +10,000 | |
b | Office Supplies | +500 | = | Accounts Payable | +500 | + | 0 | |
c | Cash | +4,000 | = | 0 | + | Landscaping Revenue | +4,000 | |
d | Cash | +1,000 | = | Unearned Landscaping Revenue | +1,000 |
Explanation of Solution
a. Total Assets increase by $10,000 and total equity increase by $10,000
b. Assets increase by $500 and liability increases by $500
