Transaction 1
• Transaction 1: Investment by owner. Ace Lawyer opens the Waikato Legal
Services firm in Hamilton by investing $20,000 cash into the business.
• The transaction results in an increase in the Cash Asset and an increase in
Equity.
• We note that the equation remains in balance,
– i.e. A = L + OE
+$20,000 +$20,000

Transaction 2
• Transaction 2: Purchase of equipment on credit. Ace purchases equipment
on credit from Computer Equipment Ltd for $9,000 (credit terms: 180 days).
• The transaction results in an increase in the Computer Equipment Asset and
an increase in Liability.
• We note that the equation remains in balance,
– i.e. A = L + OE

Transaction 4
• Transaction 4: $1,000 in legal services were provided for cash.
• We can straight away see that the transaction results in an increase in the Cash Asset
by $1,000 and an increase in the Legal Services Revenue account by $1,000.
• We note that the equation does not have Revenue heading,
– i.e. the equation is given as: A = L + OE
• As we explained earlier, the effect of a revenue increasing will need to be shown as
an increase in Equity.
