Explanation:

Hi, I have attached the full question below as images.

Part a

Here simply calculated the totals of Assets, Liabilities and Owners Equity at December 31.

Part b

Remember for every transaction, there are two or more accounts affected. To find the effect of transactions, the first step is to identify the the Accounts affected and the amounts to effect these accounts. Determine if the Account is being increased or decreased. Lastly record the effect as required under the Element of Assets, Liabilities and Equity.
