Hello professor,
i dont get this question.
The transaction of Alis new business in its first week were as follows:
1. Commenced business with the intorudcion of 1000$ cash
2. Paid 350 $ rent
3. purchaed a delivery van for 400$ cashSo i am confuesd with number 3.
it says: Assets= Equity +Liability650 (400-400)= 650+0
Why is like this can you explain me, because for me this would be, cash decreased for 400, and also payables to suppliers. i dont get number three.Thank you

Have you watched my free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

The purchase represents the recognition of a new asset (inventory) and a corresponding reduction in cash, so there is no change in the accounting equation, only a change in the composition of the assets. It has a reduced cash balance but now has inventory at a cost of $300.
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
1650 = 650 + 1000I do not get this q, so if i pruchased goods, then cash is reduced for 300, and inventory is in plus for 300 Right?
Thnk you
